Shopping Iranian Style
How stupid is this?
A 27 year old Iranian woman is the youngest of three woman married to a 67 year old man (in Iran, the legal limit on wives is four). So, anyways... this wife splurges on a pair of boots, to the tune of $450.00. The other two wives get jealous and an argument ensued. The only resolution the three of them can come up with is that all three of them will commit suicide.
"My two other wives were very jealous after my 27-year-old wife bought a pair of boots for $450," the husband was quoted as saying by the ISNA student news agency.
"After they had an argument about the price, they all attempted suicide together," he added.
All three women, now in stable condition in the hospital, have separate apartments and cars.
To tell the truth, I don't whether to laugh or cry at the outcome. Consider the pollution of the gene pool if they start to reproduce.

And, of course, it's in Reuters' "Oddly Enough" section.
