The divorce proceedings had been long, contentious and extremely heated. Finally, the husband’s attorney rose for one last try at a no-alimony divorce.
“Your Honor, “he said, “my client sincerely believes his wife is just being ridiculous. Why, most women would love to have a husband who still believes in chivalry, and on the day in question, he was only opening the door for her out of chivalry. “
“Counselor, “replied the judge, “I am granting the divorce and the settlement Mrs. Brown is asking for it entirely. I simply cannot believe chivalry was the motivation for your client opening that car door – while he was driving down the freeway at 70 mph. “
