In Islamic culture, it is common for a sultan to keep a number of wives tucked away in a harem. Well, they do say, when in Rome do as the Romans do. Istanbul, or rather Constantinople was once capital of the Roman Empire. Alas, my plans to become Sultan Gary I turned out to be bull, rather than Istanbul.

Ah. Gary the Smug.

That sounds more like the name of an English King. And one who was more successful that John Lackland, Edward the Confessor and Ethelred the Unready. So, I’ll take it.

We all gotta start somewhere. Rome wasn’t built in a day. 🙂

Maybe you need to look into joining ISIL. I hear that harems are the kind of thing they tend to promise.

And you get so many virgins too when things go a bit pear shaped. That’s the problem with Islam….they reward failure with too much gusto.
