Husband beaten over head with TV remote

SEREMBAN, Malaysia, Jun. 15 (UPI) -- A male soccer fan in Malayasia was beaten with a television remote control by his wife for watching Euro 2004 soccer.
I bet my remote’s bigger than yours...
The Malayasian Star reported Tuesday the man, who only wanted to be identified by the name of Yap, said his wife requires him to go to be early so he can get their two children to school in the morning.
Only Yap. I wouldn’t want more ’n that printed either, lol!
"She refused to allow me to watch the game, although I promised not oversleep or shun my responsibility of sending the children to school," he said.
Okay, we’re talkin’ Malaysia here - whaddya think: Do you figure she works - or not?
But at 2:00 a.m. he snuck out of bed to watch the telecast. However, his cry of disappointment when England, his favorite team, was crushed by France awoke his wife who proceeded to whack him on his head with the remote control unit. She then removed the smart card from the satellite decoder to keep him from watching future live telecasts.
If he’d just stifled himself ala Archie Bunker. Does "Stick a sock in it" mean anything in Malaysia?
The soccer fan had to enlist the help of MCA Public Complaints bureau chief, Khoo Seng Hock, who after much persuasion got the wife to relent and allow her husband to watch soccer.
This guy needs some serious help.

#4  In muslim countries the cat o' nine tails is an official instrument of state - not an aid for those with dubious sexual practices.

Hardly 'crushed' when we led the game for 85 minutes. Poor son of a bitch - sounds like reasonable grounds for a divorce, or, if muslim, a few lashes from the cat o' nine tails for wifey.
