Now That's Entertainment

Video killed the marriage star apparently.

It started with a small task. Her dear husband was supposed to video tape their townhome and belongings for prosperity’s sake. They had been putting off the feat for far too long. When he informed her he’d be taping the house, she made one simple request no less than three times – use a brand new tape.

She repeated the mantra to him on several occasions. Needless to say, it went in one ear and out the other. Instead of getting a new tape, he simply used the one already in the camcorder. For five to ten minutes, he recorded nothingness. Basically, he amused himself by taping video of their dog. Pleased with his accomplishment, he showed her his home movie, which he’d conveniently recorded right over her uncle’s surprise party.

“You idiot!” she screamed wildly. “I told you to get a new tape.”

She couldn’t believe it. Her family members had been waiting for copies of the video and now it had been ruined. She felt her blood run cold. That’s when the arguing began. He struggled to snatch the camcorder out of her hand as they exchanged verbal barbs. Bumping from one wall to the next, they were as graceful as two bumbling Sumo wrestlers.

As their emotions became more unhinged, the dog decided to play referee. Having just lost one of her legs to cancer, the peeved pup who weighed no more than 30 pounds   didn’t let it phase her. She did her best impression of Cujo, bared her teeth and threw her body between the two of them in an effort to go medieval on the quarrelling couple. The sight of the whole debacle made her burst out laughing, which infuriated her husband even more.

That’s when his nerves became even more frayed. Like a mad man, he snatched the only other home movie and walked into the garage. His wife watched him in disbelief as he held up a hammer.
