Drive turns into domestic incident
JANESVILLE — Domestic incidents can be deadly serious, but sometimes it’s hard to not smile over a husband-wife squabble.
Such was the case of a couple from Illinois who were driving through Rock County on Saturday and got into a fracas worthy of a TV sitcom.
The couple, who had been together for 17 years, were arguing. The wife was refusing to stop at the rest area north of Janesville so that the husband could use the rest room, according to a Rock County sheriff’s deputy’s report.
The woman did stop, but they continued to argue.
The woman told her husband she’d leave when he got out of the car because she wanted to get home. He threatened to call 911 if she did.
He got out, and she began backing out. He picked up a public phone and dialed 911. She pulled back in, got out and poured a “medium-sized bottle of chocolate milk” over his head, according to the report.
Then she drove off.
He called 911 again and gave a description of the car.
She returned a short time later, and the deputy arrested her on a charge of domestic disorderly conduct.
The woman was cooperative, the deputy wrote, because, she told him, she watches "Cops" on TV "and knows how these things go."
The couple filled out paperwork at the sheriff’s office in Janesville and posted bond before driving home.

She watches "COPS" on TV. Another prime example of the disconnected generations of people taking this country into the future. If adults can't distinguish as to what's real and what's not, how can they teach their children? HINT: THEY CAN'T!

I can't believe that the guy actually called 911 because of this. Gotta love the wasted money on that call. I can think of better things the cops should be spending there time doing besides this.

We WEAR Cheese hats.
We KNOW Brett Favre is not God.
We drink Brandy and our deer are ARMED.
Get your facts straight.

And we WEAR hats made out of foam to look like cheese. Hence the term "cheesehead" It's really not made out of cheese FYI.

...this coming from a state whose residents where cheese as a hat, think (thought) Brett Favre is (was) God, and kill defenseless deer with high-powered weapons while jacked up on beer.
...and FIB'rs are weird?

Sometimes when you are arguing with your spouse it helps to just stop and hug! Or tell them they look cute when they're mad.
