    I know all of you have heard those commercials on the radio that feature the Grabber Line which goes something like this...
   
"Did you know that, if you owe more than $10,000 in credit card debt, you are entitled to settle for substantially less than you owe?"

    Can't you just see a future episode of Judge What's His Name on TV ...

    Plaintiff Husband... Your honor, I am entitled to a divorce. I specifically gave my wife instructions that she was to spend all her time shopping until she got our credit card over $10,000. I was patient with her. I gave her time to accomplish her objective. Our whole family was depending on the Over $10,000 Credit Card Entitlement Discount to be able to afford to go to Hawaii this year. The kids are really disappointed. She has been unable to get our debt much over $8,500. This has put a severe mental strain on our entire family.

    Defendant Wife... (In tears) I am so so sorry. I know how much this failure on my part is destroying the very fabric of our family. I tried my best but the stores kept having One Day Sales.

    Judge What's His Name ... I have seen this sad scene all too many times. It's mothers like you who give mothering a bad name. I am only too eager to grant this divorce. I hope that your husband's next wife will take her spending responsibilities more seriously and will do a better job than you did. Your children deserve lots of stuff. Divorce granted! Case dismissed!

    What a great country we live in!

    Would I kid u?
