Want To Marry A Prisoner? Think Again.

By now, you have probably heard about America's newest "Bonnie and Clyde" wannabes from Tennessee and their recent capture in Columbus, Ohio.

To make a long story short, a former Tennessee prison contract nurse, Jennifer Hyatte, met a hardcore prisoner, George Hyatte, who was serving a 35-year sentence for assualt and robbery.

The two struck up a relationship and Ms. Hyatte was fired as a result, but that (and permission from the warden to marry) didn't stop the happy future felonious couple from tying the knot on May 21, 2005, at the Riverbend prison in Nashville, TN. Due to the nature of Mr. Hyatte's crimes, the prison only allowed a so-called "non-contact marriage" (no touching, kissing, outside guests, or other things your regluar marriage has).

Ms. Hyatte loved her man so much that she followed a prison van taking him to the Roane County, TN, Courthouse and shot and killed his guards, freeing him in the process. They immediately fled to Ohio for some long-awaited marital contact. Please click here for the rest of the story.

Dear reader, isn't it usually not a good idea to marry folks behind bars, especially violent felons... or is it just me?

If there were only one good thing to say about my lovely wife, Mary, it's that she doesn't have a "rap sheet". (Of course, there are lots and lots of good things about her as well and I thank God each and every day that I'm Mary's husband.)

For Ms. Hyatte's ulitmate act of stupidity (not just the "marrying the violent prisoner" part), we, the staff at LouieWilliamsJr.com, hereby award her the not-so-coveted Bill Engvall "Here's Your Sign" Award. May she wear it with all the total shame deserved.

That's all for today, folks. Thanks for visiting and please come again.
