Yeah, Right, Whatever

When I saw this on the news, I thought it was a joke. But it's not, which makes me wonder if the woman might need a visit or two with a counselor... or a shrink... or the Lithium fairy...

One military wife's relationship has become a fantasy since the Navy shipped off her husband.

Kingsland, Ga., newlywed Suzy Walker goes out to dinner, movies and shops with a life-size doll that eerily resembles her sailor husband, deployed on the submarine USS West Virginia, according to First Coast News in Jacksonville, Fla. Walker cooked up the idea as a way to get through her first time apart from hubby DB Walker — and fashioned a likeness of him on the doll that friends and family have found jarringly familiar....

...she's dragged it to the gas station to buy lotto tickets, to the movie theater and even to shop at Victoria's Secret.... It took quite awhile for the word to get to her husband aboard his submarine, but when DB Walker finally heard the news he said he thought it was hysterical.

Hysterical? As in "arising from hysteria"? Maybe... Just plain weird? Definitely...
