REAL LIFE NEWS: NOW TAKE MY WIFE... PLEASE!

by Hazed

A gambler in Murmansk, Russia, ran out of cash during a game but didn't want to stop gambling - so he offered his wife as his stake. And then lost!

Unfortunately for Andrei Karpov, when the winning opponent Sergey Brodov arrived to collect his prize, the wife in question, Tatiana, was so angry that she decided to divorce him. And who could blame her! She said, "It was humiliating and I was utterly ashamed... I knew I had to leave him."

But the story ends happily: Tatiana started a relationship with Brodov and subsequently married him. "Sergey was a very handsome, charming man and I am very happy with him, even if he did 'win' me in a poker game," she said.

How heart-warming!
