Do you think that if there were a deficit of #men that you'd be having #conservatives trying to control #balls like they would #vaginas?

That they'd placate a female loneliness pandemic and go even harder to illegalize #bigamy and #polyamory?

Heck, spilling of the seed could mean a large fine - or even jail time.

If so, some of us would receive sentences of hundreds of years.

Yes, that was a long way to go for a gooning joke - but I stand by it.

After spending a long time in captivity, the Count of Gleichen finally returned to his family - with a second wife in tow.

The Arabic world, as portrayed in the "Arabian Nights" tales, was an excellent setting for daring adventures and thrilling romances.

It appears that German folk tales agree!

I think this is the first time I've seen "burdensome homelife" as the grounds for a divorce. As it turns out, the husband was also still married. I don't know if the *third* wife knew he was still married to his *first* wife.

Some folks involved are still alive, so I won't say more.
