I was watching The Comedy Channel last night and caught a rerun of the HBO-produced (1994) routine of Chris Rock, called Bring the Pain.

Particularly funny, and sadly true, is Rock’s bit about the greediness of women suing for divorce. They demand, and get from the courts, the right to maintain their living styles, as if comfort is an unalienable right. Here’s Chris Rock’s commentary:
——————————————–
When it’s time to get a divorce, women got it made. You go to court, start talkin’ that shit. “I’m used to this, I’m used to that. I’m accustomed to this.” What the fuck is accustomed? What’s that got to do with shit? You go to a restaurant, you accustomed to eatin’. You leave, you ain’t eatin’ no more. They don’t owe you a steak. What about what the man’s used to? It might not be money, but during the course of a relationship, a man grows accustomed to a few things. I would love to see a man go to court and say, “Your honor, check this out. I’m accustomed to fuckin’ her four times a week. Now I feel I should be able to fuck her at least twice a week. I mean she can have the alimony, but I want some pussy payments.”

Certainly any of you who have gone through, or are going through, a divorce have comments.
