blind_otter Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying you have to be starched and freshly pressed. But if you stay at home and look grungy every DAY there's something wrong. With YOU. Link to post Share on other sites

alphamale Posted August 30, 2006 Share Posted August 30, 2006 No, that was some crazy Afghani who apparently just got back from an arranged marriage. I guess his wife wasn't planning on following this guide. So like did she take off her Burka on the wedding nite and was ugly as sin? So then he went crazy or something? WTF!

I'd seen it before too a few years ago, but its still fun to think about. I still freshen up every day before I come home from work - brush my hair, take the shine off my face, put on lipstick, etc. - so that I don't look like I feel after a hard day's work! It makes both of us feel better. Some wives used to get an allowance - we called it Pin money or if we sold eggs - Egg money. Today mine would be called "The krap I sold out of the garage sale money" Link to post Share on other sites
