Alimony
Ambush

JERUSALEM (Reuters) - An
Israeli man who refused to provide child support to his ex-wife for nearly
eight years finally had to start paying up when he remarried and police
raided the reception to seize wedding gifts.

_________________________________________________________

The
40-year-old man had managed to avoid payments since 1997 by frequently
changing address to escape the clutches of the law, Israel's Maariv daily
reported Friday.

With 198,000 shekels ($45,530) owed to her,
his ex-wife finally tracked him down when a relative passed on a copy of a
wedding invitation for his second marriage this week.

Police
and bailiffs allowed the newlyweds to celebrate before confronting the
groom and confiscating the wedding hall's safe in which guests had
deposited cash and checks, a tradition for Israeli nuptials.

Police decided not to arrest the stunned groom, but that was of
little consolation to his distraught bride, who fainted as her wedding
turned into a nightmare.

A little English lesson
for everyone today:

• "Botsa" and "Posta" are
  never acceptable substitutions for "supposed to"
  
• "percific'' is not an acceptable substitution for
  "specific"
• It is "Insufficiant funds" not
  "insignificant funds". All of your funds are significant to your
  bank. Also not acceptable: instituional funds, unsugniciant, underdraft,
  unsufficiant.

Thank you,

 Your friendly telephone
banker

That's a funny yet sad story. And technically I would think they shouldn't be allowed to take ALL the cash, half belonged to his new wife ya know. ;)

Does "friendly" telephone banker means you'd be extra "nice" to me if I called? *bats eyes* Please don't tell me that's extra haha.
