Fish & Vistors

Wednesday, August 27, 2008 by Dana.

I completely agree with the famous Ben Franklin quote… “Fish and visitors stink after three days.”  Apparently, stinking visitors can drive a man crazy, especially if they are in-laws.  Check out this story that appeared in The Arizona Republic today.

Poor Carlos Salazar (a “neighbor” in nearby Chandler, AZ) just wanted his in-laws to go home!  He probably wanted to sit on his couch in his boxer shorts and drink a beer, but the fridge had likely been emptied by his chain-smoking, beer-guzzling monster-in-law.  The sad part of the story was that he was arrested for cutting up his wife’s cheapa$$ bra.  It was probably already frayed, stained, and stinky anyway!  The story is funny and sad at the same time… if you add some gratuitous blood spurting and gore, you would have a scene from a Quentin Tarantino movie.

This is the kind of craziness that happens in Disturbia.  What’s next?  Getting arrested for $3.99 worth of criminal damaging for throwing a dish against the wall in anger over your wife maxing out the credit card for her pedicure?   What about getting hauled away for wiping your backside with the $72 autographed Brandon Webb baseball that your husband just bought instead of paying the utility bill?

Wouldn’t it make sense to fight real crime?  Let’s not arrest people for arguing until they start hitting each other!  And most important… if you are a visitor, you better mind your manners after 3 days… and don’t drink all your hosts’ booze!
