A New Jersey woman divorced her
husband because he would not allow
her to put pie on the family bill Of fare.
The wretched man pleaded self-de-
fense. but the plea didn't work. He
tried to show that he couldn't afford
pie. because he didn't have the dough.
He insisted that pudding is really pie
with the lid missing. He even ad-

making her crusty. But the Judge was
obdurate, and the brutal husband got
