11. What the hell could be so bad after hanging in for 20 years that you can't work on and overcome? People are such quitters nowadays.

Only cheating and beating are grounds for divorce. All this "we grew apart" bullcrap is just that... a load of crap.

13. It's sad to hear that Arnold Poindexter is getting a divorce. Maybe he and the rest of LAMDA LAMDA LAMDA will go back down to Ft. Lauderdale to pick up chicks.
