The Cruelty of Time
This isn’t about me. I just saw a video that almost assuredly is not true, but it still struck my funny bone.
Courtroom: Enter a lovely, physically beautiful young woman, maybe in her late twenties. When she speaks, she has a heavy Russian or adjacent accent.
Next her ex-husband comes in to the court. Reasonably attractive, fit man, American accent.
The woman speaks first. She is suing for 1/2 of her ex’s lottery winnings. They were married for seven years.
It is not disputed that their divorce was finalized on Oct. 7 at 9:00 am.
The receipt offered by the ex-husband shows the purchase of a lottery ticket on Oct. 7, at 3 pm. She emphasizes that her husband “pushed the divorce to be finalized quickly.”
He points out it was she who filed for divorce when she realized he did not have nearly as much money as she previously thought.
He filed a $2500 counter-claim. He says it was just to show how ridiculous her suit was.
The judge dismisses his counter-claim, agreeing that THAT was ridiculous. Then she rules that under law, the lottery winnings of $40 million missed being marital property by six hours and dismissed her suit.
Talk about being careful about a what you ask for.
