Instead of a sign that says "Do Not Disturb" I need one that says "Already Disturbed Proceed With Caution."

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, if he gets angry, he's a mile away and barefoot."

Hello, insanely rich newly single Asian lady. How you doing?

Chinese air raid shelters? Now shop until you ( and bombs) drop.


Guess they won't raise a family. She didn't want to multiply, so he figured division was best.

What in the Wide Wide World of Sports is agoin' on here???

LOL, so the guy settles for peanuts (relatively speaking) in the divorce and the woman gets to keep most of her wealth....lol, imagine if this was reversed (especially in modern day Amercia)....NEVER happen. The woman would take the man for every cent she could - and of course probably be awarded it....

Trust only gets you so far when you're worth almost a billion dollars and she's half your age!!!

He's divorcing her because he doesn't like being rich...defeats the "not being rich" part if he takes half of the money.
