Neil Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 Okay....smarter than me's....and nearly everyone is, how does a 4-year marriage get 'annulled'???? JK When you discover your ruggedly-handsome husband actually looks like Myron Cohen. I've never heard the story behind this annulment but must be an interesting one. Among so many pre-Lucy Gary mysteries. "He was always working and never caught the top TV show of the fifties" Really??? Where? What place books comics on a Monday night? From 9 to 9:30 I'll bet the place looked like Xavier Valdez's opening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
