Best projectiles to throw at your spouse. Not Wikipedia, or Facebook.
74The oddities of relationships.
The answer to this question, that has befuddled the greatest minds in the study of relationships since the dawn of History, is to consider the nature and identity of the spouse in question; and the object you need to achieve in throwing a projectile in the first place.
Since life first began on this planet, there have been occasions when a well aimed, blunt or sharp object, can, not only enhance a flagging relationship, but, in some cases, can actually save the life or the reputation of either the thrower or the throwee.
With that notion in mind, I propose, to list some situations in both human and animal society, when it would be very advantageous to have the appropriate missile to hand.
The first one is animal.
I would strongly advise all male praying mantises to only approach their spouses from the rear, and to always be armed with a net, to throw over their beloved's head prior to any form of lovemaking. This is due to the unfortunate tendency of the female of that species to dine on their husbands after the act of love has been performed. Alternatively, I suggest that they encourage their wives to take up smoking, as a less lethal form of post coital excercise.
To Adam, my suggestion would be that he should throw rotten apples at his wife Eve. She should have flung one at the serpent, instead of eating it, thus saving God and Man a lot of hassle and grief ever since.
Cleopatra should have thrown the carpet at Julius Caesar, and knocked him into her bath of asses milk. It might not have changed anything in history, but it would have given generations of students something to laugh at.
Most species of male spiders ought to do the same as their mantis counterparts, except that they could make their own nets, instead of having to sell their bodies to entomologyphiles to get the money to buy nets, like the mantises would all have to do.
Any one of the six wives of Henry VIII, should have always have had a hatchet to throw at his head,(usually around two years into the marriage). It would have been very important for them to have known that.
Alternatively they could throw their pearls at his feet, as he was a big fat pig, and they would be throwing their "pearls before swine".
Countess Dracula could throw the key of the local bloodbank at her husband. This suggestion is not original. It was taken from a list called "What to give a bloodsucking monster, that appears to have everything". The same gift would be ideal for throwing at Sadamm Hussein, George Bush Jnr, Tony Blair, Nicolai Ceauscescu; or indeed, any Finance Minister. Depending on your country, just pick the appropriate name. They are all the same.
A female great white shark should throw the body of a diver at her husbands head, (If she really wants to keep him that is). But if the diver is a politician, she should avoid doing so, as they are all "Hot Air", and will either deflate, or explode, on the first bite. This could be either fatal for her husband, or her marriage.
Josephine Beauharnais, should throw a one inch condom at her husband, Napoleon Bonaparte. That is all that he would need to cover his one inch "mini manhood" I know it was tiny, because it is in a museum; and I remember seeing a picture of it.
Eva Braun should have thrown a hand grenade at the head of her husband, Adolf Hitler. If she had done it prior to 1933, she could have saved the world a lot of trouble.
Mrs Elvis Presley, should have spent her time throwing guns loaded with blanks at her husband. Then he could have shot televisions without breaking them.
Mr Sarah Palin should throw a gag at his spouse, and suggest she wear it permanently, alternativly, he could throw her a mouth shaped foot spa, as putting both feet in her mouth seems to be a natural thing for her.
I'm sure there are many more candidates for having objects thrown at them. I will leave it to the reader's imagination to think up some more.
Adam and Eve have a bad day.
How not to conduct a relationship.
Get more great laughs from christopheranton.

I'm not familiar with mags, although that is probably your best bet. I do know that you can simply sit at your computer and send it to your local newspaper and others in your state with little ado. I tried it last month, although nothing was accepted, and discovered when you look up any newspaper on the internet, you will find a submissions page. You send it to them and then you are done. If they accept it, you'll get a check. If not... oh well, it wasn't much effort. You could probably make $1,000 bucks or more with this! There is a fellow, Andrew Heller, who writes stuff like this ( your's is better than most of his stuff) that does a weekly humor column and it appears weekly in the Sunday paper and I'd bet he gets $200 per week per paper out of it.

I knew it would be great and it was. Really clever stuff. In a hurry now, but will be back soon to watch the vids.
Thanks for playing along!!!
This was absolutely delightful. I love the humor!
This was delightful, Christopher, I enjoyed reading and chuckling at every single line. Thank you for your projectile creativity.
Although I must admit I did not laugh at the mantis video - that's a terrible price to pay for love.
Once in a huff I innocently threw a soft smurfy bag of socks at my "bitter half." Turned out a portable hair dryer was in it and he didn't appreciate my playfulness when it hit him on the nose. We made a new rule not to toss things, even in playful humor. GOOD HUB!
The Adam and Eve video (I should say videos, as I went on and looked at several others if that ilk) was funny.
Shudder! That manits video was really disillusioning! Love is not a bowl of cherries for that guy! (Wonder what kind of advice our De Greek would have for that couple!!) I didn't pursue the video coverage of other mantis love trysts! One was quite more than sufficient! (The mantis couple bears a slight resemblance to the Adam and Eve couple, don't you think?)
Anyway - your hub was brilliant, as always, Christopheranton. You are good. Your wry humor has no equal! Thanks for an entertaining peek into odd relationships. Woo-hoo!
I've read that humans are not tasty fare. Perhaps it's been among our advantages in survival - whether the danger is from rabid spouses or famished sharks -if we are a last choice, it does provide us with a bit of head-start! So there is some good news and some bad news in the results.
Ain't that the ever-lovin' truth!!
This had me laughing so hard. I loved it! Thanks for the laugh and yes some of these are right on.
This is so awesome!! :=D I don't know what else to say!
Really funny! I especially like the Mr. Palen throwing her a gag, He should throw her some brains as well.
Lj
Lol. I know and to think of her being in a position of any power, really is bind boggling. But then I qeuss she would make a good puppet!
Thanks for the link! Stan is a very talented writer.

Brilliant! My husband told me he wanted a divorce three days before Christmas...I'm still in shock and extremely sad. But, this piece mad me laugh soooooo very loud! Maybe I can play some of these ideas in my head...don't worry, I won't actually follow through.:)
Hi, Ha ha! loved this! did you know there is a spider called a Gladiator spider that actually spins his web, rotates it around his head then throws it at the prey? cool eh? wouldn't want meet one of those on a dark night!
Thank God I am not an Essex gal! lol!
Chris, this was indeed fantastic!
I needed a good laugh this morning, and I got it - so my morning coffee and hub-roaming have proven to be a success :)

This is an impressive piece of writing! You could submit this to many publishers and do well with this..Really..Even a newspaper on a dull day. The right Mag would take it in a minute. I laughed aloud at every joke. You have a wild imagination to come up with all this. I would say this is the most impressive piece ever on HUB I have ever seen. This should receive a HUB award. This is now the standard! RJ
