Sometimes you run across articles in the paper that just make you shake your head. Here’s one I found the other day:

WIFE SOUGHT TO PLEASE
Asked Ill Man His Choice of Undertaker

Pittsburgh, July 30. A decree of divorce was granted to Robert H. McConkey yesterday from Mrs. Mary McConkey.

McConkey alleged that last winter he was very ill and his progress toward recovery was materially retarded by his wife, who asked him every few minutes which undertaker he would prefer for his funeral. He says that in spite of his wife’s expectation he got well, but decided he needed a divorce. The court agreed with him.

McConkey is fifty-seven years old and his wife is several years his junior.
