<blithering begins>

oh no - beware this common error

purging wife 1.0 causes an automatic co-install of Divorce Version 8631.1 <a
very complex and expensive software package if i say so myself> it comes with
automatic installation of Child Support 4.3 <a costly add-on> and Alimony 2.2
<even worse> followed by Poor House 2.3.

better keep Wife 1.0 and put up with the inconvenience...

kind of like win95 <ducking to avoid the slap>
