Woman Knocks Out Husband With Potato; Dodgers Sign Her For $25 Million Over Two Years

If you're Irish like me, this is pretty much an everyday occurrence. But for others it may be rare: During a drunken Thanksgiving argument, a wife grabbed a potato and fired it at her husband, nailing him right in the snout and knocking him to Dream Town. (As Emeril would say: "Bam!"). Aside from the hilarious image this brings to mind, I also have to believe that it didn't take Scott Boras any more than 10 minutes to hear about the "perfect game" and attempt to track her down.

Jackson County sheriff's deputies were called to a Nicholson home early Thanksgiving morning after a 43-year-old woman knocked her husband unconscious with a potato during an argument, according to sheriff's reports. The woman told deputies that she and her husband started to argue in the kitchen about 1 a.m. Nov. 22. He had used an expletive to describe her, and she threw the potato at him, hitting him in the nose and causing him to pass out, deputies said. The couple told deputies that they been drinking.

Fortunately it was only a Red Pontiac; had it been a Russet Burbank, we'd be talking about murder.
