Divorce would have been easier

2007 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

A friend told me about a man from Virginia who was angry at his wife for cheating on him. One day the man decided to get even (and rid) of his wife. While his wife was out he opened all of the gas valves in the house and left. Unfortunately he forgot something. He opened the front door, entered the home, flicked on the light switch, and - you guessed it - the house exploded! I was not told if the couple had any children.

Without a reference to back this story up it really only qualifies for a PA. I'll give it the nod since it's amusing in its simplicity. Thanks, Athena. If you can find any references to this please send them in and we'll gladly consider it for a full DA.

I am sure I remember this one from quite a while back but a search here turned up nothing so I will be neutral on a PA. Thank you for the submission, Athena

This may be an Urban Legend, but I will accept it as a PA. It's just too cartoony! Thanks, Athena!
