Described as romantic husband

A Saudi husband, thinking of a creative gift for his wife on her graduation from university, bought a sheep and took it straight to the accessories shop.

There, he had the sheep adorned with coloured stripes before taking it home as a surprise present for his wife.

“This is very romantic,” commented a man on the picture of the sheep on Twitter, according to the Arabic language daily Sada.

The paper did not say where in Saudi Arabia the couple lives.

Wife #2.

Wouldn’t that be a more appropriate gift for the husband to receive?

[DannyTN]

So men in Saudi Arabia think that is romantic.

What did his wife think?

Arab menage a trois.

“...graduation from university.” That translates into graduated from high school here in the US.

[chajin]

Well, didn’t a diploma used to be referred to as a sheepskin? So, here’s a sheepskin— with the sheep still in it!

[nickcarraway]

I wouldn’t like to know that.

Desert savages!

[IronJack]

Oh, sure. It’s “for his wife.” Just like that Ferrari and all those power tools ...

[camle]

if wifey doesn’t like it, will it be an (here it comes) abandoned sheep?

the real question - would laz hit it?

[Uncle Miltie]

Gift?

Competition!

[camle]

that was baaaaaad!

[camle]

with all that wool, i’d figure it would be a (you didn’t ask for it, but...) a fuller sheep!

[shotgun]

Not if you consider that this would take the pressure off of here to perform her wifely duties.

[camle]

or maybe a giva sheep?

[baltimorepoet]

LOL. Maybe its one of those insincere presents that you get for the spouse knowing they aren’t going to use it, and that you will get to use it.

Ah, how thoughtful! I bet she is a weaver or does spinning.

I once had a neighbor, a woman, who loved to garden. Her husband gave a pick-up truck load of rotted compost for her birthday. She was thrilled!
