It's not really funny, I guess, but a woman in north Georgia was charged with murdering her husband. The cause of death was a blow to the back of the head, but they're not saying what the instrument was. Any bets? I say cast-iron skillet: John says rolling pin. Or there's always the possibility of a baseball bat. Whatever - I'm sure the bastard needed killing (as they used to say in Texas) - still a sad situation. I'll bring you up to date when it's finally announced.
