Here's a Florida man headline that will be tough to top:
The wife asked dude to help in the kitchen and he puts her in her place by chucking a fully decorated Christmas tree right at her.
A Florida man allegedly threw a Christmas tree at his wife during an argument that was sparked when she asked him to help make dinner, authorities said.
Richard Atchison, 52, "lost his temper" in the couple's Fruitland Park home Monday evening after his wife asked for help and put a spoon in the sink, accidentally splashing him with water, according to an arrest affidavit obtained by FOX 35 Orlando.
I've been accidentally splashed by sink water before, but I've never resorted to tossing a Tannenbaum.
But the real question here is whether it was an artificial tree or a live tree? Because throwing a live tree in the stand would be a heck of an accomplishment.
This guy, no shock, had been drinking a little.
Atchison packed his things and went outside to his vehicle, before returning home because "he had been drinking" and told his wife to leave instead.
When the wife tried to go, deputies say Atchison shoved her, picked up a Christmas tree that was in the corner of the room and threw it at her, striking her. He then allegedly blocked the front door to prevent her from leaving.
Sounds like a real winner, doesn't he?
Atchison was booked on domestic battery charges and taken to the Lake County Jail without incident.
