Husband Clothes

I was very shocked when I read that Bill Murray is getting divorced. Actually, I never really knew he was married, though I would have assumed it if asked. But, my first thought was “Who would divorce Bill Murray? He’s SO FUNNY.”

Of course, that was a dumb reaction. I realize that marriage is based on much more than humor (especially in my case–for new readers, that’s not mean, my husband knows it and is very proud of his unfunny jokes that freak people out.) Anyway, as usual with Hollywood divorces, this news about Bill Murray is laced with all of the skeletons in his closet and his wife’s. So I read this stuff thinking “Say it isn’t so!” Bill Murray is one of my favorite comedians of all time. (Sorry, have I said that about 100 different comedians on this blog??)

Anyway, I first began thinking there’s more to Bill than meets the eye when I read the story about him riding around Sweden in a golf cart while drunk. It got me thinking, “Is Bill as normal as he looks?” Then I realized that he never really looked all that normale? He’s one of those kind of scary-turned-handsome because REALLY funny guys.

More on the golf cart shenanigans. Murray was in Sweden because of a big golf event he joined. While the drunk driving part is not funny, it does seem amusing that Murray STOLE the golf cart, which was simply on display in front of his swanky hotel. But see, he needed it. Because he had to drive it to a nightclub. Apparently he parked the golf cart at the club, as after partying, he began to drive it back to his hotel. This is when he was apprehended.

You can read the whole story here. This is my favorite quote from the article: “It isn’t illegal to drive a golf cart in city traffic in Sweden, but [the police investigator] said it is very unusual.”

Anyway, I read that he’s getting divorced, and his wife is making accusations about him. But also that she has major issues. It’s sad, but warrants contemplation. You see a guy like Bill Murray. It would be super easy to think, “Man, it must be great to be married to Bill Murray. He’s funny. He must be such a fun husband.”

Actually, I never think things like that. But pretend I do.  So many people are just not who and what they seem to be. So, the next time I am tempted to try to be “normal” , I am going to try to remember this–they all seem perfectly normal till you learn more about them.
