How many times can a Beatle split up?

The news that Paul McCartney and his wife are about to split up without a pre-nup has suddenly got me a little worried. I never made Sue sign a pre-nuptial agreement before we were married nearly 25 years ago. Uh-oh.

When I think that, should our marriage end, she'd be entitled to half of my Playboys, Maxims and Justice League comic books, I just shudder. On the other hand, maybe she'd take some of those old socks and elastic-bereft tighty-whiteys that always seem to find their way into my drawers.

Thinking about it logically, pre-nups seem to make good sense. On the other hand, a marriage, you know, with all that "'til death do us part'' stuff, seems like an odd place to start hedging your bets.

My wife would never divorce me for the money because she knows what half of nothing is.

Paul will probably find another wife. The relationship he can never replace, however, is the one he had with that fellow who wrote all of those wonderful songs with him.
