There have been a lot of couples who have stayed together but one notorious couple, Bonnie and Clyde, ended life together on this day, dying in a hail of bullets from Texas and Louisiana lawmen who ambushed them. This all happened on this day back in 1934.
It all started when Bonnie went to visit her husband who was in jail and she met Clyde in the cell next to her husband. Later, she returned with a gun taped to her leg and gave it to Clyde which allowed Clyde to brake out, leaving her husband in jail. Here are pictures of Clyde and Bonnie:
Ain't they a cute couple???
They seem to be in love and having a good time.
But then, it ended badly and quickly and quite violently for both of them:
So, boys and girls, this just goes to show you that crime does not pay. Now, you all have a great day and help celebrate my wife's birthday, you hear?
Happy Birthday to your better half:)
ReplyDeleteShe says "thank you".
DeleteHappy to Mrs. Dizzy.
DeleteHappy Birthday to Mrs. Dizzy.
DeleteA happy birthday to Mrs. DD and many happy returns of the day, too. While she might not like going out, perhaps bringing in a special meal along with flowers and that special flea market find you have stashed away is in order.
ReplyDeleteJust don't tick your wife off or you could end up like Clyde! I hope your wife has a very special and happy birthday.
ReplyDeleteShe thanks you all for the birthday wishes. I took her to Wal-Mart. We needed some groceries and I needed to refill a prescription. She bought a new pair of slacks, so I guess that was her present.
ReplyDeleteHappy B'day Mrs. DD! Many more!!
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday to Mrs. Dizzy :-)
ReplyDeleteShe thanks you, Rob and MsB.
DeleteBTW I had no idea that is how Bonnie and Clyde met...poor husband! Pretty gruesome picture of their dead corpses...guess they needed to prove they had really been killed.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, crime does not pay.
I didn't know that is how they met until I did some research on the web for my blog posting. Actually, it seems that I learn more from my blogs than I teach others. I read a lot more about the subjects than I put in the blog postings.
DeleteHope you and your wife enjoyed her birthday. Bonnie and Clyde certainly left their mark on the world and went out with a bang!
ReplyDeleteThey lived fast and harsh and died the same way. That all happened not that far from where I live.
