Some people are fast learners. Ibn Salem is not one of them

It is the classic old tale. His 2 wives are fighting over how to divide the living space. So Salem steps in to be the peacemaker. His wise decision? Joke he will take a third wife. Surprisingly, instead of calming the argument, this incited them to bite off part of his nose.

Now, any reasonable person would think the jokes about taking a third wife would end there. Fortunately, Salem ain't that smart.

"I never realized they would get so worked up. But the only way to restore my dignity is really to take a third wife.
"I don't know what I'm going to lose next if I do that."

I am thinking if you "restore your dignity" with a third wife I just might attend that funeral. Should be some entertainment there...
