Marriage Rating Scale from the 30’s
The test was designed to give couples feedback on their marriages. Either husbands or wives could take the test, which rated wives in a variety of areas. For instance, if your wife “uses slang or profanity,” she would get a score of five demerits. On the other hand, if she “reacts with pleasure and delight to marital congress,” she would receive 10 merits. The test taker would add up the total number of merits and demerits to receive a raw score, which would categorize the wife on a scale from “very poor” to “very superior.”

Driver straps in beer, not toddler
A Northern Territory driver has been fined by police after he strapped a seatbelt around a carton of beer but left a five-year-old child to sit on the floor of his car.
The carton of beer was buckled safely in the rear centre seat between two of the adults, while the five-year-old boy crouched on the floor.
“You get a lot of people riding around without seat belts in remote communities here but it is very unusual to see someone go to the trouble of strapping in a carton of beer instead of a small child. That is the shocking thing.”
The driver has been fined $750.
