Man Married To Woman And Her 18-Year-Old Daughter

Christopher Hauptmann is either a big creep, very lazy, or both. The 44-year-old man married 43-year-old Shannon Deitrich-Durovick back in November 2015. Since then, she says there’s been no attempt to file for divorce or dissolve the marriage in anyway.

While they got hitched in Florida, Hauptmann now lives in Pennsylvania. In September, he married Shannon’s 18-year-old daughter, who now goes by Kaylee Hauptmann. It’s believed Christopher’s actual last name, and the one that’s on his Florida marriage certificate, is Buckley.

His double life was found out after he tried to apply for a concealed weapons permit over the summer. An eagle-eyed sheriff’s deputy noticed Hauptmann looked just like Buckley and after further investigation, it was discovered Hauptmann’s fingerprints matched Buckley’s.

Store Selling Individual Strawberries For $21 A Pop

Sure, produce can get pricey, but a supermarket in Hong Kong is taking it to a whole new level. City’Super is selling strawberries flown in from Japan individually packaged…for $21 a pop.

Mind you, the packing isn’t gold plated. Instead, each of the “fresh by air” “Kotoka strawberry gift box” berries comes placed on a styrofoam nest with plenty of synthetic straw to fill out the box.

A photo of the gift box has gone viral in China and now City’Super has explained the product was meant to be a Valentine’s Day gift option. “We are hoping to bring more choices of premium fresh produce to Hong Kong customer,” they explain. “From Kotoka, the strawberries are considered as delicacies of limited quantity and they are handpicked to ensure only the highest quality ones are harvested.”
