Barry and Anita were having what any casual observer would call a fling.

Barry’s wife Shonda began to get suspicious when he started wearing a lot of bling.

It was nothing really valuable, Barry told her, not a lot of cha-ching.

But Shonda wasn’t powerless and gave Barry back her wedding ring.

For the divorce lawyer she made a recital of every jointly owned thing.

And in the end, Barry realized that his bling made him the victim of her sting.
