Woman Denies Sherry Enema Charge

Oddly Enough - Reuters
HOUSTON (Reuters) - A Texas woman indicted last month for allegedly giving her husband a lethal sherry enema said he was an enema addict who did it to himself, a newspaper reported Thursday.
(Is there a 12-step group for that?)

Tammy Jean Warner said late husband Michael Warner had an alcohol problem and enjoyed giving himself wine or sherry enemas because his body would absorb the spirits more quickly that way.
(So instead of a drinking problem, what is that called?)

"That's the way he went out and I'm sure that's the way he wanted to go out because he loved his enemas," she told the Houston Chronicle.
(It's amazing what people consider a point of pride...personally, I would not have made that statement, but then again, I would have made him give himself the enemas.)

Michael Warner, 58, died on May 21 and was found to have a blood alcohol level of 0.47 percent, or nearly six times the level considered too drunk to drive in Texas.
(Apparently, though, not too drunk for anal penetration with a hose...)

Mrs. Warner, 42, is accused of giving her husband a sherry enema even though she knew alcohol was bad for this health and faces a charge of criminally negligent homicide.
"There's no way I could have gave my husband that enema, no way," she said.
(OK...I just thought she said she did in the previous police statement...is there an enema around to improve memory recall? Also, she's obviously a cum laude graduate from one of the top universities in TX...)

Police in Lake Jackson, Texas, 40 miles south of Houston, said there was evidence that Mr. Warner had received two large bottles of sherry.
(Notice they didn't share exactly what the evidence was? Do we want to know? I think I do...)

"It all started back when he was a child," Mrs. Warner explained. "His mother used to give him enemas all the time, and he started to depend on them."
(I guess...)

"He did coffee enemas, he did Castile soap, Ivory soap," she said. "He had enema recipes."
(That's a recipe book I'd rather not receive as a shower gift, thank you very much...however, is Martha Stewart aware of this franchise potential? "It's a good thing...")

Mrs. Warner, a former bartender who got married to Warner in October 2002, is also charged with destroying his will, but she denied the charge, the Chronicle said.

Currently free on $30,000 bail, she is scheduled to go to trial in July. If convicted, she faces up to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine on each charge.
(Better yet, just assign her as a candy-striper to a gastro-intestinal ward)

Sudiegirl's final thought?

I have to go to the bathroom...no, seriously...I haven't had an enema in a LONG time. My grandmother gave them to us if we happened to look peaked. I'm still addressing that issue in therapy...(just kidding).

EEEWWWW
