Fan in San Diego Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Hitting on the novel idea that he could end his wife's incessant nagging by giving her a good scare, Hungarian Jake Fen built an elaborate harness to make it look as if he had hanged himself. When his wife came home and saw him she fainted. Hearing a disturbance a neighbor came over and, finding what she thought were two corpses, seized the opportunity to loot the place. As she was leaving the room, her arms laden, the outraged and suspended Mr. Fen kicked her stoutly in the backside. This so surprised the lady that she dropped dead of a heart attack. Happily, Mr. Fen was acquitted of manslaughter and he and his wife were reconciled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Good thing she died and didn't break a hip from the fall or something like that. Otherwise he could have lost in court. Or is that just here in the US? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 he wouldve lost that case in the US, and the neighbor's family wouldve sued for $20 million in civil court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 Under the same circumstances, he would still have won his case in the U.S. It's only if he injured her in the U.S. that he would have lost. I don't know how it is in Hungary had he just injured her. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadBuffaloDisease Posted February 18, 2007 Share Posted February 18, 2007 The neighbor deserved to die for looting the house of people she thought were dead. Hooray! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guffalo Posted February 19, 2007 Share Posted February 19, 2007 he wouldve lost that case in the US, and the neighbor's family wouldve sued for $20 million in civil court. And because they are poor Hungarian peasants, they would receive 4 potatos, 2 chickens and a pair of tube socks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
