   My wife made me join a bridge club.

   I jump off next Saturday.

   Alimony is like pumping gas into the other guys car, said Mickey Rooney.
   Sadly “each divorce is the death of a small civilization.” Pat Conroy
   Just thinking about the consequences of divorce should inspire those of us who are married to renew that commitment to loving our spouses that we made when we said “I do” or “I will”.

   It’s not your love that sustains the marriage, but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love.

   Dietrich Bonhoeffer , writing to a bride & groom from his prison cell in Nazi Germany, 1943.

   Alimony, better known as “the high cost of leaving,” really developed over time as a contraction of “all his money.” It is based on the Latin root word “alimonus” meaning “removing a man’s wallet through his genitals.”

   In legal parlance, it developed out of the long tradition of a wife’s tears being wiped dry by the judge, with the husband’s checkbook. In insurance circles, it was traditionally known as a woman’s “cash surrender value.”

   It’s also known as “the screwing you get for the screwing you got!” and to a man is analogous to “paying for a car that you can’t drive,” or in olden days, “buying corn for somebody else’s cow.”

   Alimony and Alimentary Canal links on the word list are linked to the same video - Not that I mind, was just expecting a different lesson.

   That aside, I’m only 4 days old here, and I think this is great! You are doing a good job educating the public, and I see you are growing pretty fast!

   My word, if you happen to read this, is “Charlie Horse”.
   How do you get a horse in your muscle and why is his name Charlie?

   Thanks - and keep up the great work!
