Wedding Ring Deflects Robber's Bullet
Apparently, an antique shop owner, Donnie Register, was saved by his wedding ring after he was shot at by a robber.
Police reported that two men walked into Register's shop at The Antique Market in Jackson, Miss., and asked to see a coin collection.The owner threw his hand up just in time for the bullet to hit his wedding band, thus saving his life.One of the men pulled a gun, police said.
So, there ya go, fellas. Not only can marriage help you live longer, but it can also save your life.
Who knew.
And, on the flip side of the coin (get it? *Boo *Hiss), some widow may get rich over the death of her hubby. In this news bit, Japanese courts have ruled for a widow who's husband was worked to death at the Toyota Motor Corp. The man died after putting in more than 106 hours of overtime in one month.
Evidently, the company claimed that the man only logged 45 hours of overtime, but the court ruled otherwise.
The employee, who was working at a Toyota factory in central Japan, died of irregular heartbeat in February 2002 after passing out in the factory around 4 a.m.And, I thought 1 or 2 hours of overtime sucked.
Remind me to flip my boss off next time he asks me to watch the kids for a bit longer.
Lol.

Well, I think I've read that men who marry live longer on average, but I don't think that the wedding ring deflecting bullets was the reason why. :o)
As to the factory worker, good grief, 4 a.m.? He was in the factory at 4 a.m.?
