Fuller v. Lloyd

714 S.W.2d 698 (Mo.App. 1986)

"Soon after their marriage, the Lloyds started a used car business in Albany. Louise supplied the capital and Darrell was responsible for operating the business. [...]
In August of 1980 Darrell became upset because Louise's daughter was driving one of the automobiles and fired a gun at the car while the daughter was in it. No one was injured but the bullet hit the fender of the car. Thereafter, the Lloyds separated and Darrell was charged
with assault."

The court seems to envision the past-incident conversation going like this:
"Hello, husband, dear. You seem to have fired your projectile weapon at my daughter."
"Why yes, I suppose I did. How about that?"
"You know, I don't know that I really feel safe around you any more. I think we should take some time off."
"Whatever you need, shnookums."

Thereafter the Lloyds separated and, oh yeah, Darrell was charged with assault because he is one crazy mofo.
