Mohammed said,"After me I have not left any affliction more armful to men than women." Qu'ran 7:33
-AND-
Qu'ran.. Volume 4, Book 54, Number 516) Narrated Abu Huraira: The Prophet said, "If anyone of you rouses from sleep and performs the ablution, he should wash his nose by putting water in it and then blowing it out thrice, because Satan has stayed in the upper part of his nose all the night."
Widely believed and followed.... and its TRUE too as far as I can tell.. but cleanup is hard when there is no water.. or even if their is water.. No wonder when Sadaam was captured they were looking up his nose... talk about a spider hole..
Just to play devil's advocate here, did he say this right after his wife pissed him off about something?
