#1 If you can get a newspaper in Jordan take notice of a "curious method of punishing wives", you've really accomplished something. Unless they said it in admiration ...

#2 What's the usual method, a beating? Or a 4 inch stick of wood (officially sanctioned weapon of Islamicist husbands, apparently), wedged neatly into the eye socket? It shut Frances Farmer up, didn't it?

Apparently she didn't realize that you can't argue if you're a wife of a Muslim. Ever.

#3 She was prolly only a 3rd or 4th wife. Hardly worth getting worked up over, infidels.

#4 Al Dustour described the incident as a "curious method of punishing wives" and said it was the first of its kind in Jordan.

Probably cheaper then buying a coupla gallons of acid.

#5 I wonder if there was any particular reason why she felt she had to humor the jerk....
