Wat …
A man took drugs in Miami. Wigged out and ate a homeless man's face. Seriously.

And then tried to eat the face of the cop that told him to stop.
Was the cop quickly quarantined and chained?

I think you do need to insist that there is a cost for your willingness to dive head first into helping. Its obvious the business is a failed business without you. This is especially due to the "community management" skills you have that are key to a mom and pop shop.
So you have demonstrated the way a local business should be run and I think you need to insist that your brother in law learn to see the big picture. Give him a time line and make sure your wife is on board. I'm sure she'll understand the whole "teach a man to fish versus giving him fish" moral.
Its okay for your wife to quibble over your personal time but she needs to understand the importance to your health. What is she going to do if you have a stroke? You know that these exceptional levels of stress have dire health conseqences. Go see a doctor, I guarantee your blood pressure spiked, has spiked, will spike.

The zombie apocalypse has begun..., says the thread.

Not according to the CDC. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/0...
But... they're probably just trying to maintain calm among the masses while they work on a cure/containment/eradication strategy.
As gorilla pointed out, we have a thread. There was also an incident in Maryland where a man ate his roommate's brains a few days ago, also in that thread. Getting mighty close to the gas station... I think that's where we should start our defense.

My take on it is that Paleo should just apply for the job already and demand a salary just like any top level manager. Family's family, but business is business. Getting one in the other isn't a good idea, IMX. Even my mom and dad keep their mutual business interests "clean." Her investment is hers; his investment is his. No special favors. No off-the-books requests.
Well, to be fair, the Maryland guy cooked his roommate's brain before eating it. Probably more garden-variety cannibal than zombie. 8-0

I agree. I think the problem here is that the wife isn't setting boundaries and is making Paleo pay all her dues. Hopefully, Paleo setting boundaries will trickle up to his wife so that she has a minimum set to build on herself.
I see 2 people trying to run a local business by the numbers. People aren't numbers so when they don't act like them it should be no wonder why the business will fail. I see 1 person running the business as a member of the community. Run a local business like that and the only way you can fail is if Walmart builds next door. (and starts serving gas)
And obviously this is making it sound more easy than it is. And if I have jumped out of line playing closet shrink, I apologize and feel free to dissect my comments.
Paleo, this is why I live thousands of miles from my family. Good god, son. I'm so sorry.
Stop dogpiling on Paleo, guys, you're getting things so totally wrong, it's not even funny.
I bet that the situation, according to Paleo's relatives, is probably like this. His BIL is a proper gentleman who is pursuing a Master's degree, as it is befitting anyone who wants to make his family proud. Paleo, on the other hand, is a crass salaryman who simply wasn't smart enough to become a lawyer, a doctor, a maestro, or at least a tenured professor. Now, instead of supporting his song saeng's noble pursuits and letting him focus on the studies, he wants to make HIM rake the sh*t out of the restroom? Preposterous!
He's been living amongst the round-eyes too long! Number two son!
At the root of it, it's a matter of husband-wife dynamic. So I don't think the "move away from family" or "don't let brother-in-law bully you" are long-term solutions.

"Lose your sh*t and go on a shivgee rampage" totally is though.

This is good solid advice.

Is there anything that one cannot accomplish with a well-honed shivgee?
This is good solid advice.
Well that depends on how much fiber he's eaten recently...
Could be a juicy tidbit.
All the advice aside, I think it's time to consider Paleo for beatification.

I concur. But as the patron saint of what? So many possibilities. Sharp objects? Weaponization of cleaning implements? Proper parking etiquette?

It's time to start putting the 'beat' back into 'beatification'.
Perhaps a small change to the spelling to establish his street cred:
beatiphicashun
beatifrapulisim
