It's a Man!
Well, it is Friday. The end of the work week and we are headed into the celebration of Jesus' birth. With the end of the work week in mind I have found the most ridiculous news item.
This story coming from an Australian newspaper shows just the reason you should check out what your bride looks like behind the veil before you marry.
The 26-year-old groom-to-be, Tamer Shehata, was notified by a female guest attending his wedding that his would-be wife was a man in women's clothing.
The last line of the story is the kicker:
Mr Abo Zeid, whose face was obscured to Mr Shehata by a niqab or burka (face veil) said he had intended to tell after they were married, and had hoped to convince Mr Shehata to consummate the marriage.
To this I reply, what was he thinking, "hoped to convince Mr Shehata to consummate the marriage"? What would make him think some man who had intended on marrying a woman would now change his mind?
And this goes down as the first not-so-funny Friday Funny.
