California woman accused of slicing off husband's penis | Reuters. That's not The Daily GRIND. Also, in a seemingly unrelated story, I show you a USA maximum card with a MALE DOG (dawg?) and a FEMALE DOG (bia?) - maybe. Who's to say who's the real BIA, in either story?

I don't have to say "Please read" - you WILL read it anyway. :)
You can't say this is a story about The Daily GRIND.
WIFE rhymes with KNIFE.
If a movie will be made about this, the man should portray himself -he is CUT for this role.
Catherine Kieu Becker - she didn't have an AXE to grind (or did she?), so...you know...she decided to grind something else.
There is no movie called "Bend it like Becker". That just...doesn't cut it.
California woman accused of slicing off husband's penis | Reuters

"Ms Becker was arrested on suspicion of 
aggravated mayhem, 
false imprisonment, 
assault with a deadly weapon, 
administering a drug with intent to commit a felony, 
poisoning and 
spousal abuse."

As his body was drugged and laid horizontally, his thing became "a cut above the rest" of the body.

She partitioned his Hard Drive.

She suffered the rigors of a Penile System? Now she will suffer the rigors of the Penal System.
As for the "fresh cut" object of non-desire - one rigor that it didn't suffer was the Rigor Mortis.
"You're grounded!" - that's one classic punishment for unruly behavior.

She thought that his thing should be at her disposal, so she exhausted it.
When he woke up, he surveyed the scene with a sense of...detachment.


Is she the first woman in history to find herself on the...cutting edge, when dealing with a presumably stronger man? Nah...
"Baudry, Paul Jaques Aimé (1860): under the Second Empire, Marat was seen as a revolutionary monster and Corday as a heroine of France, represented in the wall-map."

Unlike The California Cutter Catherine Kieu Becker (who was presumably abused), The French Stabber Charlotte Corday was never-used, mint-in-box, VIRGO INTACTA.
But still, she decided to stab Marat to death.
"Marie-Anne Charlotte de Corday d'Armont (27 July 1768 – 17 July 1793), known to history as Charlotte Corday, was a figure of the French Revolution
In 1793, she was executed under the guillotine for the assassination of Jacobin leader Jean-Paul Marat, who was partly responsible for the Reign of Terror
His murder was memorialized in a celebrated painting by Jacques-Louis David which shows Marat after Corday had stabbed him to death in his bathtub
In 1847, writer Alphonse de Lamartine gave Corday the posthumous nickname l'ange de l'assassinat (the Angel of Assassination)."


Adding insult to the injury: Legros slapped her beheaded head
"At her trial, Corday testified that she had carried out the assassination alone, saying "I killed one man to save 100,000." It was likely a reference to Maximilien Robespierre's words before the execution of King Louis XVI. On 17 July 1793, four days after Marat was killed, Corday was executed under the guillotine and her corpse was disposed of in the Madeleine Cemetery.
After her decapitation, a man named Legros lifted her head from the basket and slapped it on the cheek.[6] Witnesses report an expression of "unequivocal indignation" on her face when her cheek was slapped. This slap was considered unacceptable and Legros was imprisoned for three months because of his outburst.
Charlotte Corday being conducted to her execution. By Arturo Michelena, 1889
Jacobin leaders had her body autopsied immediately after her death to see if she was a virgin. They believed there was a man sharing her bed and the assassination plans. To their dismay, she was found to be virgo intacta(a virgin), a condition that focused more attention on women throughout France—laundresses, housewives, domestic servants—who were also rising up against authority after having been controlled by men for so long.[8]
The assassination did not stop the Jacobins or the Terror: Marat became a martyr, and busts of him replaced crucifixes and religious statues that had been banished under the new regime."
Who's the (male) DOG, and who's the (female) DOG, in any couple?
Hard to say.

Speaking about "female dog"...it's always interesting to learn about the meaning of words.
For example, from Wiktionary:
"

bitch

Usage notes

  • The derogatory tone of the noun bitch is sometimes diffused by intentional colloquial overuse or misuse. In print, the noun referring to a person is demeaning and sometimes implies that the person being insulted is subservient.
  • In professional circles, the noun bitch is sometimes used to refer to intelligent and ambitious women with a high level of sex-appeal who use those qualities to achieve their goals.
  • In the sense of an aggressive woman, this term is generally derogatory when used by men (and often when used by women), but, it is also used by some women to refer to themselves positively in a form of reclamation. It is important to note that many people do not believe that "bitch" is able to be reclaimed, because of its continued pejorative usage. Thus, the term is both potentially liberatory while also being controversial."

Listen to the catchy song by Johnny Wakelin - In Zaire. In Zaire (now the Democratic Republic of the Congo) lives The OKAPI (Okapia johnstoni), a CRYPTID giraffid artiodactyl mammal. See WWF maximum cards from then-Zaïre


"The Rumble in the Jungle was a historic boxing event that took place on October 30, 1974, in the Mai 20 Stadium in KinshasaZaire (now Democratic Republic of the Congo). It pitted then world Heavyweight champion George Foreman against former world champion and challenger Muhammad Ali. Ali won by knocking out Foreman in the eighth round."

=============

"The okapi (pronounced /oʊˈkɑːpiː/), Okapia johnstoni, is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the Ituri Rainforest, located in the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, in Central Africa. 
Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of the zebra, it is most closely related to the giraffe.
The animal was brought to prominent European attention by speculation on its existence found in popular press reports covering Henry Morton Stanley's journeys in 1887. 
Remains of a carcass were later sent to London by the English adventurer and colonial administrator Harry Johnston and became a media event in 1901.[2] Today there are approximately 10,000–20,000 in the wild and as of 2011, 42 different institutions display them worldwide"

He has a particular bent for stamps with wild mammals on them, but his blog demonstrates an affinity for stamps of all forms and backgrounds, as long as they offer a special narrative that's worth sharing with his readers.

    Postcards and stamps, mainly featuring mammals and birds but Dorincard also has other creations
    and interests he likes to share.
    His enthusiasm for Maximum cards (a postcard and a similar themed stamps sent through the
    postal system) shines through.
    He shows how he gets the right card, stamp and postmark together.
    Visiting his site you will also learn things about the natural world told with a dry sense of humour,
    possibly with a play on words, and a unique style of headings.
    Topical and informative both for the enthusiast and casual visitor.
