Swaziland's King Mswati III, who imposed a five-year sex ban on the kingdom's teenage girls, has dropped it a year early.
The girls have had to wear large woolen tassels as a sign of their chastity since 2001.
The sex ban was imposed to fight the spread of HIV/Aids. Swaziland has one of the world's highest HIV infection rates, at almost 40 percent of the population.
The king meanwhile fined himself a cow for breaking the ban by marrying again, a 17-year-old who became his ninth wife.

So we can expect the infection rate to be 60% next time they release statistics?

It's nice to know that the King of Swaziland at least doesn't consider himself above the law.
To: knak
Was that "fined himself a cow" or "find himself a cow"?

"Was that "fined himself a cow" or "find himself a cow"? Swap a cow for a 19 year old woman? Please send photo of the cow.

Right. If it was a good idea to abstain then it's a good idea to abstain now. Congrats on all those kiddos by the way. Number eight! I think it's great. Someone has to make up for all of the forty year old slackers without any kids.

It's good to be the king...
To: knak
When you're the king, to whom do you pay a self-imposed fine? IOW, who gets the cow?

Swap a cow for a 19 year old woman? Please send photo of the cow. That reminded me of an old Clinton joke:
Bill Clinton got off his helicopter in front of the White House with a baby pig under each arm. The Marine guard snapped to attention, saluted, and said "Nice pigs, Sir!"
The President replied "These are not pigs. They are authentic Arkansas Razorback Hogs. I got one for Hillary, and I got one for Chelsea."
The Marine again snapped to attention, saluted, and replied, "Nice trade, Sir!"

Why buy the cow when you get the milk for free?
To: knak
I guess she wasn't an 8-cow woman.
To: KarlInOhio
LMFAO!
Hell, I would take a 1977 Pinto in trade for Hitlery if she was my wife.
