Comical… !! If You Can Figure It out!!!! Jan 23, 2011
Last week when I was walking around the office, I saw this cartoon clipping on the desk of one of our Arabic-speaking guys.

Coming from a Western culture, at first, I couldn't figure out what's meant by this crazy caroon. But, in a few seconds, my long years of living in the Gulf came to the rescue!!!

I guess it's both funny and pitiful at the same time!!!

I admit Tom, I'm not sure. Could it be that Arab men will marry anything?

This is about arranged marriage, before you open it you don't know what is in there! :wink: Like a watermelon!

Right TJ?

Yep!!! Good for you Mel!!

An arranged marriage is a hit-or-miss deal. Like a watermelon, you don't know if it's good or bad until you take it home!!!

But I wish the guy who sketched this cartoon put another cartoon side by side with reverse roles. It is not just the man alone who's taking the chance!!! :lol:

But there IS a way of finding out if you have a good one.

You knock it with your knuckles.

If it sounds hollow, you've got a good one.

Same applies if you're looking for a subservient wife too I suppose.

LOOOOL!!

Considering the number of divorces in the other so-called “liberated” countries, I guess marriage has always been a hit or miss deal! That’s probably why marriage is becoming a dying institution in some parts of the world!!

I once asked an elderly Arab man, how did you know the bride you were taking, sight unseen, was going to be good or bad. He replied “we usually have a female relative go and check the bride’s teeth. If she’s got all her teeth, we know she’s going to be good in bed. If she’s missing some of her teeth, we stay away from her!" Then I said, “ Hmmm, the wife “being good in bed” was all you guys cared about then when choosing a wife”

He quickly answered “Sure son, women were made by God only for man’s pleasure. First and foremost, to satisfy his urges, and then to serve him and to give him children.”

I swear. That's a true story!!

There was this rich guy who had..... (wait for it).... THREE beautiful girl friends. He just couldnt decide which one of them to marry. So he devised a sort of a test. He gave to each $10,000/, and he thought he would see what they did with the money at the end of a year.
After a year.........one said "I invested the money for you, and your 10,000/ is now $20,000!" The guy was impressed. The other one said,"I shopped all the Year for you and bought beautiful clothes for you, and other fashionable items that I knew you liked. I travelled far and wide to do this."
Wonderful! the guy thought. The third one said to him "I knew how much you liked my looks, and what you liked, so I spent the money on improving my looks even further, by buying clothes and perfumes and skin care things for myself..." And he was indeed impressed by her looks at the end of the year.
But he still was no nearer to deciding which one he should marry!
So, what the heck, he says to himself.......and married the one with the biggest boobs! :albino:

I thought the reference might have been to the propensity in certain rural areas of KSA and Egypt for young men to 'practice' with water melons before they get married.

I suppose its because the goats can run fast in those parts of the world...
