In the old country, it is a custom for women to enter virginal and sexually ignorant into marriages arranged by their parents.

In one particular case, an attractive young maid, from a very poor family was wed to a well-off, but relatively unattractive businessman.

When the wedding night finally came, the couple, at the brides insistence, stayed in a hotel near her families home. Early in the evening, the harried bride came rushing through the door.

Mother, Mother! cried the girl, He says that we should sleep together!

Its alright, girl, married people sleep together. Now go back before he starts to worry about you.

Oh, said the girl, and returned to her husband who had already begun to disrobe. When she saw his hairy chest, she went running back to her mother.

Mother, Mother, he is taking off his clothes, and he is covered in hair!

Its alright girl, men have hair on their bodies, dont let it bother you… Now, get back their before he starts wondering about you.

When she returns, she finds the man naked for the first time, and sees that he had part of his right foot amputated. She flees, in fright, back to mom.

Mother, mother, he only has a foot and a half!

Stand back, girl! says the mother, This is a job for a real woman!
