Stuckey's

They were preparing to fly home after an idyllic honeymoon in Malaysia.

But after only a week of married life, one couple's romance came to a dramatic end after the bridegroom decided his wife simply spent too long in the bathroom.

His solution was simple. Get on the plane without her.

The woman in question, a teacher, had gone to use the facilities at the airport before boarding a flight back in Saudi Arabia.

What recommended this story for posting was it struck a chord (everything here is stream of consciousness). My friend Randy, recently divorced, but an eminently decent person, attended my wedding with a blind date.  After we returned from our honeymoon I called to thank him for coming down, and asked how things went with what's her name (henceforth WHN), who was hot-hot-hot..

Randy:  WHN drove me nuts.  Nice looking, but what an airhead.
Me: So you won't be seeing her again I take it.
Randy: Hardly (sarcastic voice)
Me:  What?

He related the drive home from Virginia Beach to DC.  It seems WHN had to stop every ten minutes to get a snack, tinkle, call a girlfriend., or all three.  About the 4th tinkle stop, at a Stuckey's near Port Royal, he watched her go in the door - and took off.

Me: You left her there? 
Randy ( matter-of-factly): Yes.

I started laughing so hard I 'most brain hemorrhaged.  Did again just now.  But, I did not approve.  Neither did my bride.

I should have left my-now-ex-wife when she passed out on the toilet at the welcome center in Charleston.

So, it never occurred to you or your buddy that the gal was worried about her safety, stopped to call for help multiple times & finally ditched HIM?
