Lamar Odom being the first guy in history to have drugs and hookers save his marriage. TFM.

    This is funny because it references former professional basketball player Lamar Odom. In addition to his fairly long and modestly-decorated NBA career, Odom is famous for his high-profile marriage to reality television star Khloe Kardashian and concurrent struggles with drug addiction. Odom’s continued narcotic abuse and erratic behavior eventually lead to estrangement from his inexplicably-famous wife, who began divorce proceedings against him. However on October 13th 2015, while a guest at the notorious Love Ranch (a legal brothel in rural Nevada), Odom suffered a series of massive strokes triggered by a binge of large amounts of cocaine and other drugs, and was rushed into a hospital for treatment where he spent over a week in a coma and suffered brain damage. In the wake of this high-profile overdose, his estranged wife rushed to his side and announced that she was suspending her divorce filing, fueling speculation that the pair would permanently reconcile. (It is unclear whether Khloe made this decision for PR purposes, or out of genuine love and concern for her husband).

    The poster has humorously pointed out the irony of the Lamar Odom saga: While in most real world cases a husband’s crippling drug addiction (coupled with illicit trysts with multiple prostitutes) would destroy a previously healthy marriage, in Odom’s case his drug use and predilection for paid sex may have actually saved his marriage, which was on the verge of ending prior to his overdose.

    Not near as frat as the guy who went to Mexico intending to commit suicide but spent a week doing coke and banging hookers instead.
