Not all was domestic bliss for Osama bin Laden in Abbottabad: The bickering of three wives haunted the final days of the al-Qaeda leader...

...Bin Laden mostly stayed holed up on the top floor of his Pakistani compound with his fifth wife—the youngest and his favorite—and another spouse. But his oldest wife moved in to the floor below in the months before bin Laden was killed by US Navy SEALs. The jealous woman caused dissension in the wifely ranks, and sources in the extensive bin Laden family worried she aimed to betray her husband, according to an account by a Pakistani army officer.

Do SEALs do house calls?

So that's how they found him! They just sat on the Afghanistan border and listened...

...for all the nagging from five wives, or at least two.

One's bad enough - but I'm not trying to put you off...

Do you know how hard it is to find virgins these days?

An old favorite of mine:

Quote:

Once when Mark Twain was lecturing in Utah, a Mormon acquaintance argued with him on the subject of polygamy. After a long and rather heated debate, the Mormon finally said, “Can you find for me a single passage of Scripture which forbids polygamy?” “Certainly,” replied Twain. “‘No man can serve two masters.’”
-Louis Utermeyer, A Treasury of Laughter (Simon & Schuster)
