I gave up TV, those things didn't happen, but my wife left me, and took the kids and the dog

  You should try stand-up comedy

  Correlation...

  But did she take the truck?

  It's a zero sum game, of course. For each person who achieves their goals after stopping watching TV, someone else has theirs crushed.

  In college my grades went down significantly when I started dating my future wife Sophomore year. I was a 4.0 Freshman year and only a 3.75 Sophomore year. Definitely causation... Sorry, I know you're being tongue and cheek, it just made me think of the anecdote :) One could argue that if I didn't start dating her and get married I would be much more "successful" right now.

    Protip: When somebody brings up their wife leaving them and taking the kids, save the marital bliss talk for later.

      I never said we were still together or blissful... in fact I said I would have probably been more successful if I didn't get married. Although the thought hadn't crossed my mind I was being insensitive because I am 80% sure the OP post was a joke. Intentionally in stark contract with the article. Hence why the other replies are: > You should try stand-up comedy > But did she take the truck? (a joke reference to American Country Western Songs) If I am wrong and his wife did leave him and take the dog my condolences.
