FELDKIRCH, Austria --A jealous husband who spiked his wife's food and drinks with sedatives to keep her away from her lover received his comeuppance from an Austrian court Wednesday.

A court in the western province of Vorarlberg found the 47-year old man guilty of "coercion" and sentenced him to a $540 fine should he repeat the offense.

The trick worked twice, said the Austria Press Agency, with the woman sleeping through the evening instead of meeting her lover after her husband dissolved sleeping pills in her wine. But she pressed charges after finding a tablet concealed in bread.

Neither the news agency nor the court identified the couple, in keeping with Austrian practice. APA said divorce proceedings were under way.

3. My grandma use to have your job....

My pop was a raging alcoholic, I think he may have only taken Monday night off each week just to maintain his balance...

So when my mom kicked him out of the house, he went to stay with his mom....

Now I would go over as a wee lad for a few days at a time...

My grandma would pour through the paper every morning before we got up and come up with her version of MatCom news.....

And then she would go on and on with my dad sitting there with a hangover to beat all hangovers....\

My dad figured it was some kind of punishment he had to endure for his behavior...

Ahhh, thanks for the memories.....
