She's been having an affair, the hussy.
Woman marries Berlin Wall after medical condition causes her to find objects sexier than men
Tuesday, 27 May 2008
A Swedish woman who married the Berlin Wall has been having an affair - with a fence.
Eija-Riitta tied the knot with the 47-year-old Soviet-built cold war icon in 1979, which was designed to separate East and West Germany, but after it fell her eyes wandered to a garden fence.
Eija, who at 54-years-old is a bit of a cradle-snatcher, admitted once fancying the Great Wall of China but said: "The Great Wall is attractive but he's too thick. My husband is sexier."
Eija suffers from a medical condition known as Objectum-Sexual which means she prefers inanimate objects to men.
She took part in the weird ceremony in 1979 at the foot of the wall, with a party of invited guests.
And, unlike the rest of the world, she was devastated when the wall was torn down after the collapse of Soviet communism in 1989.
She said: "What they did was awful. They mutilated my husband."
Explaining her condition she said: "I find long slim things with horizontal lines very sexy.
"The Great Wall of China is attractive but my husband is sexier."
Not so sexy anymore - after her 'husband' fell, she dated the fence for several years.
She's not the only person to suffer from Objectum-Sexual. A 43-year-old British woman who is registered as having the condition claims to be currently dating a stereo named Jake.
