Shouting at your partner may get you a criminal record

This actually applies to a new law about to be introduced in France.

It would cover men who shout at their wives and women who hurl abuse at their husbands and also applies to cohabiting couples - although it is not clear if nagging would be viewed as breaking the law.

My reason for mentioning it? If the law applied here my wife would have a life sentence by now!

Perhaps there's a study demonstrating the positive effects of shouting out your wife and hitting your kids?

A sort of combo effect?

I think there may be mitigating factors depending on your hair type. There's probably some kind of analysis that would help you enter a plea bargain.

Come on Rosie, don't beat around the bush, we all know when you say 'hair type' you mean 'hair colour'.

You'd think I'd learn...
