    Now I know these are desperate times but c’mon!
    Is she sure it was a carrot?

    Unless the carrot was spinning in a circular motion while projecting forward causing it to maintain a perfectly straight motion prior to the contact with said eyeball, this incident could not lead to such a condition.

    Basic Physics=>>> Bullsh*t $$ Hungry Claimants= Get a J-O-B like the rest of us and stop suing each other.

    I shouldn’t say this, when she went to the hospital she asked, what’s up doc? My only excuse is Friday afternoon.

    What in the wide world does she hope to gain from this lawsuit? They live together, they are married….. I can’t fathom what it is she is seeking with this.

    Sounds like a marriage made in heaven. He sounds like a real he-man with a carrot as his weapon of choice. Her reflexes obviously aren’t what they used to be either or she would have ducked. I’ll bet next time they argue she’ll have an eye out for him.

    Which is correct? The headline says he stuck it in her eye, but the story says he threw it at her.

    the whole article said he threw the carrot, the reason the charges were dropped, she refused to testify against him. I guess some lawer convinced them this was a way to collect against their homeowners policy.

    That carrot or the husband must have bionic parts to do that much damage from throwing a carrot 20 feet away. If a carrot did that much damage, she’s darn lucky that he didn’t throw anything containing any metal or sharp edges.

    I don’t think the HO liability would respond to this. It’s intended for 3rd party liability and both are insureds under the contract.

    Perhaps she’s looking for money to exchange her glass eye for a Waterford Crystal eye?

    Doctorjoe is right. It’s funny until someone gets hurt (even though you said “not). Then it’s hilarious!!

    What’s this world coming to? First I can’t run with scissors and now it appears I can’t throw carrots? I’m going to go get pie-eyed.

    Sad thing is that some poor bunny rabbit is left without a perfectly eatable carrot. That carrot is probably sitting in some store room sealed in a plastic bag as evidence.

    I met her one night. We were at a bar and she rolled her eyes at me, and I being a gentleman rolled them back.

    Seriously, follow the money. The question one has to ask is who benefits from the pending settlement? Bet it goes into a joint account. Talk abour being rewarded for wrongdoing.

    well, like it was said earlier – carrots are good for the eyes, but in this case, it changed to a glass eye. so she will always have one eye on him at all times. how many times do we hear that woman throw things at a man? then her reflexes from 20 ft away are very slow. afterall, how many times to we run our lawnmower and it’s approx 6 ft at most from the rear of the mower to our eyelid. don’t we react when we see something come our way, in most cases we are able to shield our eyes or attempt to move the head in a different direction. i think, that if she truly wanted to, she could have at least put him in jail. there has to be something else that made her change her mind to not to testify. a woman’s perogative?

    Great puns. But who is the total moron lawyer who no doubt graduated last in his class and was too stupid to know there’s no coverage under HO??? The wife is an insured, not a third party, which is what HO liability is for. Hope the carrier sends out a quick coverage denial.

    Interesting that “doctorjoe” complains that “guys” are making fun of this incident and then suggests where she like to insert a carrot into the gentleman in question and also an alludes to how she would like him to feel threatened by homosexual prison rape. A “guy making similar remarks about a female would be a misogynist. Doctorjoe – heal thyself.

    No carrot jokes, but I hope she gets a big settlement. Say $300,000. Homeowners won’t pay it, so he’ll be personally liable, her attorney will take 30% plus expenses, so they’ll be out about a hundred grand (and one eye).

    well, not sure how that is going to happen on a personal note, since she did not go after him on the assault with a veggie. afterall, is not his money her money and vice versa? they are not divorced, so that won’t change. my concern would be another incident. now we all now why that woman love to throw frying pans, bigger target with a bigger weapon. (LOL) this is a strange situation.

    They must have not listened to their mothers growing up….It’s all fun and games until somebody pokes an eye out!

    I would hate to think if he threw the carrot peeler instead….

    we all know no coverage under HO, both are insured. charges were dropped and they are still living together. i’m thinking she got to the hospital & told husband threw carrot…may have even had translation problems…then officers went & arrested husband.
