Man Ditches Marital Didget
In a moment of madness, many have flushed a wedding ring down the toilet, or flung a treasure out the window. However, a Viennese man resorted to a more dramatic gesture after his divorce case recently came to a head. In a defiant move, he cut off his ring-finger and presented it to his ex-wife, ring intact.
As it turned out, this was not the last word in the relationship. The man's former spouse has filed for dangerous harassment, and a preliminary hearing has just been completed.
"It was an act of breaking free,'' the defendant declared, who claims that he is getting on fine without the missing didget. He added that he had no plans to marry again, and thus has no pressing need for the finger's return.
