Why would Big Bad Bertha do such things to her half-a-century love bug? Well, the police report states that Bertha became enraged after Memo received a postcard from his ex-girlfriend. An ex-girlfriend who he dated back in the 1960s BEFORE THEY WERE EVEN MARRIED! Memo called 911 to report that Bertha was trying to kill him. When police arrived at the scene they described him as being in an "extremely fragile" state with "'several serious bruises and open lacerations, as well as open bite marks that were bleeding".

Memo said that Bertha attempted to smother him to death with a pillow and stole his cell phone so that he couldn't call for help.

Not for nothing, this ex must have been the Beyoncé of her day if she got Bertha THIS pressed after 64 years.
