#1 I'd say he got off rather cheaply. Over time, one could pay £85,000 for shave cream, razor blades, and aftershave.

#2 I'm sure the woman would use a sugar/honey or beeswax product rather than shave, Besoeker. That is, she would if she knew about them. Apparently she didn't since she failed to use one prior to meeting up with her newly betrothed spouse.

And for that matter there are quite effective surgical and rehab exercise programs for strabismus. It's a pity her family didn't bother to invest in them - it would improve not only her appearance but also her ability to read, drive and otherwise participate in the various social and economic activities that are so trendy these days.

#5 And in fact shaved hair feels thicker as it grows out, due to the blunt end of the cut hair shaft. Which is why waxing is in such vogue.

I believe you may be making a questionable assumption with regard to gender.

#7 Doesn't the guy believe in polygamy? I thought that's why they had it.
