Flight delay ends in divorce...
 
Perusing an offbeat site that came up in another post, I came across this travel-related gem:

A Saudi man divorced his wife after she insisted on waiting 13 hours at an airport for a flight that kept being delayed.

The Saudi daily al-Yaum said the couple waited from 9am to 11pm for the flight at Bisha airport in the south of the kingdom.

Relatives of the husband said the wife refused to return home and take another flight, causing the man to divorce her at the airport.

Women in Saudi have slightly fewer rights than our sisters stateside.

I bet it didn't cost him as much either.

It took you months? Jesus, it took me years! What's your secret (not that I'll ever need to use it)?
