  1. This husband is an arse and should be sent back to neolithic times.

It looks like it's originally written by someone in an abusive relationship. It reads sarcasm to me.

The wife needs to run for the hills.

MrsTerryPratchett · 15/08/2012 19:31

Commandment 1 defriend morons.

CaliforniaLeaving · 15/08/2012 19:31

I've heard rules like this in some extreme Religious communities here in US.

DozyDuck · 15/08/2012 19:32

It doesn't sound like its written by someone fluent in English

Roseformeplease · 15/08/2012 19:33

The English is almost as bad as the sentiment.

DozyDuck · 15/08/2012 19:33

I mean could this be a cultural thing that has been translated? (ignorant of other cultures and clutching at straws)

  1. Buy heaviest dictionary you can find. Beat husband repeatedly and firmly around head with it until he stops spouting rubbish. Then divorce him.
GnocchiNineDoors · 15/08/2012 19:35
  1. If in doubt - get out.

To the wife of the author of these commandments, read #24 over and over, disregard 1-23 and RUN.

Frontpaw · 15/08/2012 19:37

Poor old DH. He didn't even get so much as a 'obey' in our vows. Can't actually remember what I did agree to though...

mathanxiety · 15/08/2012 19:39

Husband may be overcompensating for some deficiency.

lastnerve · 15/08/2012 20:51

could it be a pisstake?

Vagaceratops · 15/08/2012 20:57

Some of these are creepy.

ginhag · 15/08/2012 20:57

Footnote.

If the wife observes that her husband is, verily, an Actual Prick (which is of course inevitable if he doth follow the Rules of an Arse) she is impelled forthwith to decrie him as a Cuntchops of the Highest Order and stand heavily upon his bollocks.

Vagaceratops · 15/08/2012 20:58

Actually it looks like it has been translated.

ginhag · 15/08/2012 20:59

(and it must be true as I have written it in Ye Badly Cobbled Olden)

eurochick · 15/08/2012 21:00

Agree with Commandment 24 suggested above.

Itsjustafleshwound · 15/08/2012 21:00

You know they are vile. What is your reason for posting them?
