Abraham Alexander stole over $237,000 from the Cardiovascular Research Foundation, spending upwards of $11,000 of the embezzled funds on the services of dominatrix Lady Sage (right). Despite the Lady’s harsh disciplinary techniques, Abraham continued to be a bad, bad boy, and will have to give the Foundation most of his pending divorce settlement. Who knew his wife would get all bitchy about it?? Pshhh… women.

Historically, guys have never liked being told what to do. For centuries, men have used the law to keep women from saying things they don’t like. Unfortunately, many of my gender are currently engaged in retaliatory social castration , and two wrongs don’t make a right. However, I think three might do the trick. How about tossing in some arson, or maybe a little bank fraud, ladies?
In medieval times, creative punishments were used to prevent wives from employing objectionable phrases like, “We would have money for food if you didn’t spend it all on booze,” “We wouldn’t have 14 mouths to feed if you’d just keep it in your pants,” and “Stop hitting me.” Women who were judged to be “scolds” were secured to a “ducking stool” and repeatedly dunked in the local pond or river.
The ducking stool became slightly less popular after the invention of a technologically advanced shrew-taming device called the “scold’s bridle.” This fashionable accessory included an iron frame that fit around the head, holding in place a spiked tongue depressor. (Hey, it’d be nice to have one of those around next time she won’t shut up about those ugly shoes she just bought… am I right, guys? Am I right?? YEAH! *high five* ) There was also a handy loop so the scold could be led around town and mocked, an example to other women who may have been thinking about saying something to somebody about something.

Is there anything sexier than a shackled criminal? Of course there isn’t. That’s why Scott Peterson is bombarded with love letters, Charles Manson receives scores of marriage proposals, and somewhere out there, Ted Bundy’s spawn is being raised by a woman who couldn’t resist the romantic appeal of conjugal visits with a guy who raped and murdered dozens of girls and women.
Perhaps in a preemptive strike, Cassandre LaFortune came to court in a wedding gown and stood beside her man as he was sentenced last week. Akram “Ish” Jones, 26, will spend 10 to 20 years in prison for participating in a conspiracy to murder Terrance M. Maxie. Immediately after the sentencing, the judge officiated the wedding of Cassandre and Ish. After she finds out which correctional facility her new husband is assigned to, Cassandre says she will pack up and move to be near him.
