<p>Archer gives a summary of the divorce judgment which is online (lengthy PDF) for all to peruse.</p>
<p>The summary is Classic Archer.</p>
<p>And, yes, I trundled off to read the PDF (well, not thoroughly and not all of it) and Archer did indeed capture the spirit of the Judge&#8217;s decision.</p>
<p>Yipes.</p>
<p>(I confess that I&#8217;d forgotten who McGreevy was and then it was, oh, yeah. New Jersey. <em>That</em> Governor. The long suffering wife. The confessions of homosexuality. The aide who swore there&#8217;d been Friday night threesomes for years. Now I remember. Lovely.)</p>

<p>The florist sez he told her he probably couldn&#8217;t match exactly the color she wanted. He provided pastel pink and green hydrangeas when the bride wanted dark rust and green ones. </p>
<p>Ruined her day, it did.</p>
<p>Bride is an attorney and is suing for $400K in restitution and damages.</p>
<p>And get this: the original flower bill was for $27,435.14!</p>
<p>Yikes. I hope her dear husband knows what he&#8217;s getting into.</p>
