Break Your TV To Get Wife's Attention

The Star Report June 27, 2005;


INDIAN TV serials can cause domestic problems when housewives are so caught up with the drama that they neglect their husbands, Malaysia Nanban reported.

One husband in Johor Baru was furious because his wife was too absorbed in the popular Tamil serial Metti Oli and did not hear him calling her to unlock the front gate when he returned from work.

The husband had to break the lock to enter the house and when his wife still did not take notice of the husband's presence, that was the last straw for him.

He went berserk and pushed the TV set to the floor and shattered it. It was only then that the wife realised her husband was home.

So, the wife now has no more TV and have to watch her husband perform.

Is that the only solution to a problem? What would you do if your wife take no notice of your presence when you got home? Likewise, what would wife do if husband paid no attention to wife?

In this case, the chosen solution to the problem will lead to another more potent problem. First, the husband will have to loosen his purse and pay to buy another TV, or else, the wife will go to her neighbour's house to watch the movies. Secondly, he will also have to repair the gate and lockset. And thirdly, he will have sour meals at home.

To correct a wrong, you do not use another wrong. Two wrongs won't make one right; whatever it is.
