A middle-aged man, James, had come on stage believing it was an audition for American Idol. It wasn't. Out ran his ex-lover, Terri. "You said you loved me!" she said. "And then when I got pregnant, you disappeared! Twenty years, and you never even sent me a letter!"
The crowd booed.
As James tried to sputter a response, his wife ran onto the stage. "You cheating jerk!" she shouted at James. "You lying, cheating jerk! Twenty-five years we've been married, and I never…" She picked up a folding chair, tried to swing it at James.
"Stop!" cried James' teenage daughter Katie, joining in the fray. "Mom, Dad, stop it!"
