No wonder I can’t find me a husband!

I’m demanding a, ‘Thirty Point Buck’ for my hand in marriage, LOL!

Maybe she gave him an impossible quest because he was unsuitable.

Isn’t it the wife who is supposed to supply a dowry?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_grouper

The giant grouper (Epinephelus lanceolatus), also known as the brindlebass, brown spotted cod, or bumblebee grouper, and as the Queensland groper in Australia, is the largest bony fish found in coral reefs, and the aquatic emblem of Queensland, Australia. It is found from near the surface to depths of 100 m (330 ft) at reefs throughout the Indo-Pacific region, with the exception of the Persian Gulf. It also enters estuaries.[2] It reaches up to 2.7 m (8.9 ft) in length and 400 kg (880 lb) in weight;[2] there are unconfirmed reports of it growing much bigger, up to 3.05 m (10.0 ft) and 598 kg (1,320 lb). Giant groupers feed on a variety of marine life, including small sharks and juvenile sea turtles. Due to overfishing, this species has declined drastically in many regions, and it is now considered Vulnerable by the IUCN.[1]

This giant fish is similar to the Malabar grouper, and its colour changes with age. The giant grouper has a large mouth and a rounded tail. Juveniles have irregular black and yellow markings, while adults are green-grey to grey-brown with faint mottling, with numerous small black spots on the fins.

The first fish to undergo chemotherapy was Bubba, a giant grouper at the Shedd Aquarium in Chicago, USA.[3]

You seem to love to post from this source, but it seems like nothing more than the Muslim version of the National Enquirer.

It’s a good thing she didn’t ask for a 300 lb. Michael Moore groupie.

Here in Florida those giant grouper are called jewfish. 660 plus pounds jewfish are not too common but they are out there. I believe they are protected these days.

This is a small one:

I don't believe this...it's an urban legend.

I lived in Saudi Arabia FIVE LONG years and the MOTHERS in the family, the matriarchs, decided on who marries whom.

There are NO ifs, ands or buts about it. Both sons and daughters marry whom they are TOLD to marry.

THAT is a Saudi marriage, NOT this silly urban legend.

The fish in question is called a “hamur”. Excellent meat.

Fished for it myself in that area of the Persian Gulf.

Bur 300kg? No way, Jose!

Perhaps the man from Qatif should try his luck in the deeper waters of the Red Sea.
