I'll have the eye lo mein, please!

This is the real deal, folks. Jason showed me this article on Yahoo! News late last week (you can't make this stuff up):


HONG KONG (Reuters) - A Hong Kong woman who blinded her boyfriend in one eye in a fight six years ago has been jailed for jabbing a chopstick into his other eye, a newspaper reported on Wednesday.
Last November, Po Shiu-fong, 58, accused long-time boyfriend Kwok Wai-ming, 49, of having an affair, the South China Morning Post reported.
During the row, Po stabbed a plastic chopstick into his left eye, which she had already blinded six years ago when she poked it with her finger.
"Po became hysterical when she saw the wound and mopped it with a towel. The pair then went to bed," the paper said.
"The next morning they had another argument in which she grabbed a chopstick and stabbed Kwok's right eye," it said.
Two days later, he sought medical treatment and filed a police report against Po, whom he had dated since 1993.
The paper said he didn't report the attack six years ago, telling the court his silence was "a love sacrifice."
Kwok lost 10 to 20 percent vision in his right eye, the paper said.
Po was jailed for six months on Tuesday.
"If I forgive her, God would not forgive me," the paper quoted Kwok as saying. "No matter what, nothing could compensate for the loss of my eye."


Wow. I mean, we have all done stupid stuff for love, right? Have you ever lost an eye and called it a "love sacrifice"?! Yikes!

And maybe I'm just fooling myself here, but I could never picture Gina stabbing me in the eye with anything. In fact, that's pretty high up on the list of why I married her - the lack of eye-stabbing potential.

Think about who you surround yourself with on a regular basis. I think a good tool to measure how much time you should spend with someone is ask yourself "how likely is it that this person stab me in the eye?" and then judge the time spent by that risk factor.
