"I have a better solution," writes Frank J. of IMAO [via Ian S. of Inoperable Terran] in response to the following story from This is London:
An Iranian woman, beaten every day by her husband, asked a court to tell him only to beat her once a week. Maryam, the middle-age woman, said she did not want to divorce her husband because she loved him. "Just tell him to beat me once a week . . . Beating is part of his nature and he cannot stop it," Maryam told the court.
The Tehran court found the man guilty and banned him from beating the wife, the paper said.
"If I do not beat her, she will not be scared enough to obey me," the husband said.
The course of true love never did run smooth.
-- Shakespeare, "A Midsummer Night's Dream" (I, i, 134)
Why else would anyone obey a slob like him. But then again the course of true love can be mighty wierd as can the two legged donkies.
