The Situation: Survey Says

This particular situation was so shocking when I heard it presented that I thought it was a joke at first. Yesterday I was listening to the Lex and Terry show (not something I'd listened to before). The show topic caught my attention in the car as I drove because they said it was Wednesday Women's Day on their show. The show is hosted by a couple of guys and they sounded like they weren't really prepared to handle women's issues, but I thought it might be worth of couple of laughs. I reasoned it was better than listening to Ke$ha sing Tik Tok one more time.

So this little gal calls in and lays out this unfathomable story. Her sister had come to visit her for a few weeks before she heads to Germany to live and had been staying with them for about a week when this little gal's husband approached both her and her sister and told them he had something important he wanted to discuss with them. He said he had made a "survey." Now this survey consisted of a list he created to compare his wife and her sister. He said he believed he'd fallen in love with the sister. The "survey" listed such items as face, eyes, hands, breasts, stomach, back, vagina (yes--the hooo ha) legs, feet, ass, mysteriousness, personality, and attitude. He rated these items on his survey from one to ten for both of them. He then started to inform them how they rated. Both of the women became upset within a few minutes. Her sister wanted to leave immediately because she didn't want to break up their 5 year marriage, which was also the result of two children.

The husband also figured out quickly that he'd probably bit off more than his playboy mouth could chew at this point. The wife was angry and took the list from him and her sister and her went to another room.
At this point the show hosts ask how she compared to the sister. So she goes through the list with them.
She beats her sister out on most of the items except for attitude and her ass. Of course, the hosts being men kept track of the points and added them up. This was something neither of the women had done. For goodness sakes their sisters! The ONLY redeemable quality of the survey (if you can call it that) was the fact that he gave the sister a 0 on the vagina because he hadn't seen it. Wow.

This gal now wanted to know what she should do because even though they had two kids, she believed he had crossed a line, and as a couple, they'd never be able to recover or get back on the right side of that line. The hosts then proceeded to tell this woman she was stupid, a doormat, it was her fault this had happened, and that she should leave the loser as soon a possible and stick him with the kids--all terrible advice.

The husband is a disgusting idiot. I don't know what he thought he'd accomplish with that survey, but the one sure thing he did was to break up the home of his children.  I was encouraged by the fact the women had stuck together and didn't try to lay any blame. The gal said her sister hadn't done anything to encourage her husband in this direction. Maybe she can get on a plane with her two kids and join her sister in Germany. Hasta la vista dirtbag.
