  • x00x, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9It just goes to prove the old Russian adage "when all else fails a good hand makes for a happy wife".

  • cromus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5So THAT'S how they play Old Maid in Russia...
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -4/+9"loses"


    right
  • jayglass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Gives a new meaning to ALL IN........
  • firemillen2, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3if the wife is hot, can you imagine how exciting that would be for the winner?? What a game!
  • VeganG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Pics?
  • mandarin, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3At least shes happy with the new guy.
  • MONEY24, on 10/12/2007, -8/+11in light of current events... a woman is running for president.

    we're going to war once a month. *****.
  • BabyWookie, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Sexy time!
  • Asianwaste, on 10/12/2007, -9/+11Who said you could talk woman? Get back in the kitchen and make me a sandwich!
  • KamikazeeDriver, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2At first, I could not either, but still, who wagers their WIFE in a game of poker? WTF! Really, that'd be like wagering a family member. The fact that he did, is probably proof enough why he didn't deserve her.
  • OutlawAdidas, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Post a pic of her. If she is fugly, then he won!
  • umbriago, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2And now the winner is home asking himself, "There must be some way I could have lost."
  • lukas88, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Maybe a sense of humor is scarce in russia too.
  • ijacker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2very nice!

    hi five!
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2can anyone post a mirror? it's taking like 3 minutes to load just that one page, and im on fast connection! It would be greatly appreciated.
  • bohemianprank, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What a story. It has all the makings of a Hollywood romance. LOL
  • ArchonSG, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1The way I see it is that any guy who'd actually want a woman that someone else puts up as a bet is either really desperate or a slimeball. Given that the fact that the woman in question is happy and actually marrying the "winner" tells me that he takes out the trash, mows the lawn and maybe gives her more then just 30 secs of foreplay.
  • KG81, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1LOL, funniest thing i've heard all year
  • speedygonzalez, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1what a man! true burping, crotch scratching, machine building news.... in all seriousness though, that's pretty ***** up...
  • 3dom, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What I don't get is, if the wife happened to object, got a divorce and simply walked away, isn't it just the dude who gets royally ***** over? (or just the other guy if not)
  • inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If only we could all lose our wives in a card game...
  • TDR25, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I tell ya, some things are just too funny to put in to words. With that, I won't try.
  • nytechy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1is she Hott ?
  • dextroz, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1i'd hit her left side up from what i can see...
  • Guydevice, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I made that reference without reading all of the comments. High-five!
  • LLLSecretChimp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Nicolas cage should play the guy in the move. Oh, wait, he already did: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0104438/
  • JohnnyHuh, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1He might have won while losing. Damnit, now I've got that stupid scene from White Men Can't Jump and Rosie Perez yapping "Sometimes when you win, you lose and sometimes when you lose, you win."

    And, never gamble with something you can't afford to lose.
  • 1dog, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1So now the winner can bet his other wife.
  • RobotKing, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1We need more details! For all we knew they were playing speed. What did he bet his wife on? And of course what did she look like? v_v
  • ChronicColonic, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1That gives "All In!" a whole new meaning.
