| Man's wives have no sense of humor : Payback in the Magic Kingdom |

| Wonder if this guys a religious cop? He seems wimpy enough... RIYADH (Reuters) - A Saudi man lost a bit of his nose in a joint assault by his two wives after he jokingly threatened to marry a third woman. Yeah, "jokingly". Ha-ha. Laugh that off, funny man... Judaie Ibn Salem had thought his threat would help resolve an argument over dividing up his house. "I swore that I would do it because ... they were impolite and that's when I came under an even bigger attack," Ibn Salem told Shams newspaper after having seven stitches inserted. I'll cut ya, man, I'll cut ya! "I never realized they would get so worked up. But the only way to restore my dignity is really to take a third wife." Well, there's always the acid treatment...and, of course, honor killing. "I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that." Ba-dum-bump...Judaie's here all week. Islamic law allows men to take up to four wives and polygamy is not unusual in the conservative kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the birthplace of Islam. Wonder if Mo ever had to put up with this kinda shit? |

| #6 Eeeewwwwwwww. Come on, Barbara. If by now you have not been able to accept Frank as Rantburg's International Grand Snarkmaster, there's little hope. Frank, you convinced me with your reply to that "Terrorists Charred in West Bank Vehicle" headline with your pithy comment of "Mind if I smoke in your car?" If anyone outdoes that, I'll be the first to let you know. NO ONE has until now and you have my deepest respect for such incisive wit. One of these damn days, I'll even stand you a round for it. |

| #3 "I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that." Paging Loreena Bobbit to the white courtesy phone. |
