Having trouble with the missus?

I guess there are some countries where the concept of marriage counseling hasn't really caught on.

A woman in Cyprus is on trial for sorcery after pledging to shake off a curse apparently plaguing a man's relationship with his wife and mother-in-law.

The suggested remedy consisted of an egg, a spoon, a nail, some pubic hairs and underpants, local media reported Friday.

"She cracked the egg into my underpants," the 37-year-old man told a district court in the capital Nicosia.

The elderly woman wanted some 5,000 Cyprus pounds ($12,195) for her efforts, the man said, so he went to police.

Now that you mention it, that price does seem a little steep. But isn't that really a matter better dealt with by the local Better Business Bureau?
