Cheat On Your Spouse = Jail Time In These 17 States – Even In ND?
To CHEAT - steal, deceive - any way you look at it the word "Cheat" instantly brings to my mind... ...treating yourself and other people with a complete lack of respect. Unfortunately, there are a zillion ways to cheat - in school, while taking a test, a simple "I'll take a 7 on that last hole" ( when the whole world knows you had an 11 - cheating yourself really ) and sadly when a spouse cheats on their partner. It can ruin an entire family - is it a crime though? Well in 17 States across America, you can send your spouse to jail - for cheating. Is North Dakota one of them?

Was the Snakmaster the Best Kitchen Invention of All Time?
While I'd love to argue that the '80s and '90s were the golden age of TV sitcoms, it would be a disservice not to acknowledge that it was also the era when "As Seen on TV" infomercials truly revolutionized every aspect of our lives in every room of the house.
