A British comic’s ex-husband really can’t take a joke.

This British wedding photograph­er is a real boob.

Shutterbug David Kilcourse took 96 photos of bridesmaid­s’ cleavage and derrieres and only 11 photos of the groom and none of his parents, the newlyweds complained in a lawsuit.

Kilcourse said he was hampered by bad weather.

But he ended up refunding the fees paid by Steph and Paul Unwin, both 30, of Bollington, Cheshire, plus $800.

Police said Michael “Flip” Filipowicz, 25, signed into the hospital as a visitor to sell the drug to a 24-yearold man who was admitted after overdosing and being revived the previous day with the drug Narcan.
