Preventing Travel: Eating Your Wife's Passport

October 6, 2008 at 9:05 AM | by | Comments (3)

It sounds a bit like a "The dog ate my homework" excuse, but there's a woman in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia who can't travel at the moment because her ex-husband ate her passport.

After getting divorced but continuing to live in the same flat, Ivan Volokov decided to destroy his ex-wife's passport, the only thing left that proved she could live there. But he didn't burn it or flush it down the toilet--he tore it up and ate it.

We're wondering if we can try this excuse next time we forgetfully end up at the airport sans passport.
