Farmer cuts property in two to give to ex-wife
Fri Apr 4, 1:39 PM ET

A Serb farmer used a grinding machine to cut in half his farm tools and machines to comply with a court ruling that he must share all his property with his ex-wife, local media reported on Thursday.

Branko Zivkov, 76, told Belgrade daily Kurir he had been ready to give his wife Vukadinka her equal share of everything earned during their 45-year marriage, but was furious at being asked to give away half his farming equipment.

Instead, he bought a grinder and cut in two all his tools, including large items such as cattle scales, a harrow and a sowing machine.

"I still haven't decided how to split the cow," he told the newspaper. "She should just say what she wants -- the part with the horns or the part with the tail."

I knew I'd seen this before. It got merged into "wife/husband/gripes".

True, but since there was no pre-nup on that thread, I thought it should get sliced back off...

Now Mr. Funnyman still has to pay wifey her half the value of the pre-cut in half tools and equipment, but now has to buy new stuff to replace the old stuff all at his expense.

Nice try Einstein. Hope you get some chuckles, 'cause this is gonna cost you.

And you know this because family law in Yugoslavia is entirely inspired by statutes in Lousisiana, right?

Well, I know enough about judges to know that was not what he meant, and I also know how much judges like litigants to thumb their noses at court orders....

(BTW, any Civilian tradition European law would likely be closer to Louisiana than England or the US, as Louisiana and Quebec are the only two Civil Code regimes in North America. )

I miss John Belushi.

He was gonna play Ignatius J. Riley. His death prior to playing that role was like the burning of the Library at Alexandria - a loss of inestimable sorrow.

He's 76 years old. What's she going to do when he doesn't pay, sue him? He'll probably die first.
