A woman I lived with for nearly 10 years fell under her fundamentalist family's influence, and went off the deep end. We split up, and a few months later I get a call.

Now, first I have to tell you, the closest thing to a swear word they allowed themselves was "man." So she calls me (she and her pre-existing kids were living there by now) and tells me that she and I were "married in gawd's sight" which meant I needed to start sending her money. Well, you can imagine my response. And when she shouted behind her "he ain't going to do it," I heard her father scream "MAN!" Made my day, it did.
