OK, so it didn't happen in Houston. But Houstonist laughed out loud when we heard it last night on the New 93Q's nightly Radio Lia show, so we decided to share. Apparently a woman who was performing what the Telegraph, a UK newspaper, refers to as a "provacative dance" designed to "arouse her husband".
After being asked to demonstrate her "gyrations" in court, she explained how her husband had disappeared into the bedroom and returned carrying a large-caliber shotgun. He then asked her to dance with it. At the end of the song, she put the gun on the floor beside her, but it went off, accidentally killing her husband. "She had been cavorting to fulfill her husband's fantasy, when tragedy struck", says the Telegram. (How come there are never any sentences like that in the Chronicle?)
Oh, and the song? "Man, I Feel Like A Woman!", by Shania Twain. "The best thing about being a woman," the song tells us, "is the perogative to have a little fun".
Insert your own joke here.
