Man escapes alimony after wife admits she's a genie
KHOU ^ | 10-18-2014

Posted on 10/20/2014 1:00:00 PM PDT by Snickering Hound

This story about a divorce in the United Arab Emirates begins in not-so-unusual fashion: A wife refuses to sleep with her husband, and he is not pleased.

Then it gets weird: She tells him to talk to her parents, who explain that their daughter can't have sex with him because she is, in fact, a supernatural creature called a jinn that the BBCequates to a genie. This results in divorce. But if the excuse was a tall tale, the joke's on the ex-wife, because a court in Dubai ruled that she is not entitled to alimony, reports Gulf News.

Reason? She wasn't honest about the genie matter.

Thats because they believe in throwing you raw meat for consumption in it’s natural state as God intended. The more civilized ones put it on a plate first but that’s just a bonus.

Won’t matter. The bottle can’t cover the attitude. You’ll be outed in seconds. Blondes and Brunettes simply cannot get the attitude thing right which is why bottle job redheads (lower case) are so easy to spot. ESPECIALLY by people who know real ones. Which assumes that you even CAN dye it. Because a lot of the time it doesn’t take or the red still comes through.

Ans ‘Strawberry blonde’ is still Redhead ;)

Sal, you DO realize you are talking to someone who was married to a Redhead and OUTLIVED HER right? AND retained most of the sanity I started with AND still have most of my parts in semiworking order.

Let that sink in. I am probably one of the rarest people on earth. Perhaps ever... ;)

You really are starting to freak me out.
It’s like you’ve been spying on my whole life.

Years ago, I had a whim [imagine that] and tried to go blond.

Ended up strawberry.

Even with the nasty “two step platinum process”, I could only manage...*pink*.

I kinda liked it, though.

You are a Man among men, Norm.

I thought that even before your last post.

I could start out with what the Dobermanns leave, Ms. S.

Be happy to work my way up.

I feel her pain.

I tried to go ‘dark chocolate’, once.

Morticia had nothin’ on me.

Hubster just poked his head in the room...I’m off to the flea market to look for some new ectoparasites!

I already instructed the daughter unit to add something like that to my tombstone. Of course it was nothing so humble.

I did afterall survive a Redhead intact. No mean feat! I figure there is Alexander, Ghenghis, (whose manner was in no war reminiscent to JF’nK), Vlad Tepes, George Washington, Chuck Yeager...and me.

In no particular order.

They would leave you no meat and it’s not wise to fight them for it.

;D

I love ya, Norm.

“Was adored by an auburn amphibian” could be a funky footnote on there.

He should drop to his knees and thank God. Because that often doesn’t happen. Goes back to that ‘surviving the first date’ think I think...

“It’s still incomprehensible to me that Larry Hagman looked back on that show with such disdain.”

I read about that. It was the poor scripts. A few basic story lines were recycled over and over again. Hagman and others tried to get the producer to come up with better material but were ignored.

I think the first few episodes were the best, a new series with great potential. As soon as Major Roger Healey became privy to Jeannie’s true nature, the series quickly went downhill. His character was too buffoonish to watch, and the stupid laugh tracks didn’t help either. Hagman and Eden were great actors, but didn’t have much else to work with.
