A very smart woman I know says of men who cheat, “once a cheat, always a cheat.”  She firmly believes that if a man (or woman) cheats on his spouse, odds are pretty high that he’ll do it again.  But if someone cheats at one thing, is it also pretty certain they’ll cheat at other things? 

I couldn’t help but wonder about that when I heard the latest news about Bernie Madoff.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know that Bernie Madoff and his Ponzi scheme bilked investors out of $50 billion.  Now comes the news that he had a long term affair with Sheryl Weinstein, a woman who invested millions of dollars with Madoff on behalf of Hadassah.  She also invested all the money she and her husband had (yes, she was married, she’s a cheater, too).  The media coverage is reporting the “latest shocking news” about Madoff.  But is it so surprising that Madoff was cheating on his wife?   He cheated at investing, carrying on his Ponzi scheme for decades.  Is it so hard to believe he cheated on his wife for decades, too?

So maybe it is true—once a cheat, always a cheat.  Cheat with money, cheat on your spouse, cheat at golf.  If you’re capable of one, you’re probably capable of another.

I was just cleaning up around the office and came across a discarded Wedding Ring Coffin plaque. It was one that a customer had wanted for his/her coffin, got scratched and so was just laying around. But it was one of the more witty ones we had been asked to create, and I thought I’d share it and a few other favorites with you.

Some happy, some sad.  Some bitter, some resigned.  At the end of the day, it’s all about whatever helps you move forward.

You may have heard about the JK Wedding Entrance Dance video that exploded onto YouTube with over 14,000,000 views and made celebrities out of newlyweds Jill Petersen and Kevin Heinz. Well now there is the JK Divorce Entrance Dance created by Indigo Productions.  The parody doesn’t take place in a church, but in a courtroom complete with dancing bailiffs, jiggy judge, flipping groom, and a slow-motion fight scene.
