#2  We take our salad VERY seriously here in Colorado!
If he would have been in Boulder at an "organic" restraunt well, he would have been shot.

#3  "They beat this man in front of all these kids then Tased him in my sister's lap," Mayo told the newspaper. "They had no regard for the effect this would have on the kids. This is Chuck E. Cheese, you know."

Lol! As if CEC is the Temple Of Pizza for this dimwit cow.

2 Observations:
1) Cooperate with the Police. If they ask you to step outside to talk, do it.
2) If someone pulls a Taser on your ass. Get nice. Fast. I have been tasered. I sell them, now. Lol!

Divorce bid cites 'smelly husband'
An Iranian woman has requested a divorce from her husband on the grounds that he has not washed for more than a year. "My husband says he does not like water and does not want to take a shower ... He doesn't even wash his face when he wakes up in the morning," Mina, 36, was quoted as saying in court by the state-run Iran newspaper.
Isn't not washing un-islamic? Guess I should check with the staff imam, al-Aska Paul.
When the couple first married eight years ago her husband was obsessively clean, she said. "He spent hours taking showers three times a day and washed his hands every few minutes," Mina said.
That sounds like a classic obcessive compulsive disorder.
"But he suddenly changed ... Now nobody, including me, my children and his colleagues, can stand him." Divorce is a notoriously difficult process for women in Iran, who normally have to prove that their husband has neglected them financially or sexually, is a drug addict or physically abusive.

#1  That's odd, every Arab Male I've dealt with fastidiously cleans his face, ears, mouth, hands & feet before entering the Mosque to pray. They don't pay any attention to their armpits though, sometimes there is a little unhappiness emanating from up under there. Proxemics are a big thing amongst Arabs, they place a heavy emphasis on how ones' body smells, his breath, how close he is from you whilst talking, etc. It appears we have a Farsi version of Pigpen on our hands here...

#2  I take a bath once a week, whether I need it or not. However, the "Hollywood Shower" idea of the newly-wed husband is veddy veddy bad because it wastes too much water, unless one take sea water showers. Since psychologists are unIslamic, the best alternative that I recommend is to have him report to a local accredited Imam for a court-ordered consultation and evaluation. Then the Imam will report to the court and the husband can retort. Then a judgement can be rendered in the case. I have spoken. Make it so, XO.

#4  # 2 ONCE A WEEK~~ EEERRR. most shower every day or every other day. This "smelly Husband" suffers from Depression and has a chemical imbalance in his brain which result's in this type of behavior- i.e. obsessive complusive disorder. He has gone to the other extreme of NOT washing. Get the 'ol boy to a doctor a.s.a.p.

#5  one understands that when the good wife pinches the nose with one hand and points bathroom-wards with the other, it is time to take action. A daily shower is one of the things manditory for marital bliss...

#7  I think one of the Kennedys of Mass. sufferered from the Depression. I once saw Hal Holbrook in Winchester VA (his daughter was the apple blossom fairy that year).

#8  Depression is a common, treatable illness that effect's millions of people. I can tell by my
educational background and knowing many that suffer from this- that is what "smelly husband"
suffers from.
