Boxing’s “Raging Bull,” Jake LaMotta, died at the spry age of 95.
His fiancée of 25 years, Denise Baker, said he died of dysphagia pneumonia. And I really think that after 25 years, you’re no longer a fiancée . You are merely the girl-who-Jake-strung-along-for-a-decade-and-a-half.
A fiancée gets married to a guy or becomes an ex-fiancée. What, was he waiting to turn 100? How the hell did he pull this shit off?
Is now a good time to mention that she’s 30 years younger than him? I’m sorry guys, but going after women who are that much younger… just fucking creepy. When he was 40 did he look for dates in the 4th grade? Because that’s the age difference. There is no age where that does not become creepy.
LaMotta was famously the subject of the classic Martin Scorsese movie film, “Raging Bull.” That’s the film that guys will watch because it’s about boxing yet lament how it
should be in color because guys are fucking idiots.
Robert Deniro, who won an Oscar portraying LaMotta, famously gained 500 pounds for the role. To which Christian Bale said, “hold my beer.”
Married seven times, LaMotta once quipped, “My first wife died from eating mushrooms. My second wife died from eating mushrooms. My third wife died of a skull fracture. She refused to eat the mushrooms.”
Ha ha ha ha! You’re such an abusive, murderous husband! You know it’s bad when a guy makes Andy Capp look like husband of the year.
This hit goes to: Marianne! She can now say, “Hey, at least I’m beating Joanne!”
Erin remains at zero.
Happy pooling,
