    Much to his frustration, the sheikh found out all the women in the harem were in sync for that time of the month.

    in The Harem, but men should beware.

    All who sneak in are found,

    swords and sabers abound,

    and they always need more eunuchs there.

    It turns out that this “Real Housewives” show is a real yawner.

    The big drawback to having a harem is that you get outvoted when Barbie is showing on HBO.

    The Sheikh suddenly realized that Allie, the really tall harem girl with big muscles, was actually a man with long hair.

    A few moments later, he realized that he didn’t really mind.

    Worst harem ever – they didn’t recite poetry, they didn’t play musical instruments, and whenever he visited, they only had eyes for each other.

    Oh Honey, I didn’t mean exclusive with YOU. I meant exclusive with Caroline over there.

    Of course it has nothing to do with you. It’s just a coincidence that we all have a headache tonight.

    This is just one of the useful to configurations of this item. There are a couple others that you will find very pleasant and interesting.

    “Listen up all! I just want to say the Christmas Pageant went really well this year. The three wise men could have put a little more effort into it, but Mary, you knocked the socks off the audience when you breast fed baby Jesus. Great Job. You can now take a few weeks off before we start rehearsing for Easter. Again, Great job. See you back here the first Saturday in February.”

    Ali felt a growing panic that they’d discover he’d lied on his job application for a position as a eunuch.

    What a boring idea Juan had !/

    This scene is incredibly sad:/

    A harem needs nudes-/

    Clothing only intrudes/

    And these women are heavily clad..///

    Orientalist painting is fun. /

    Of the bevy, my favorite one/

    In the harem at home/

    Is Jean-Léon Jérome:/*

    His fantasies can’t be outdone.///

    When it comes to depicting a wench/

    (One that causes bluenoses to blench)/

    Though Goya’s nude Maja/

    Aroused a “brouhaha”/

    You can always rely on the French.

    They were tempted to tell the Sheik that he’d put his weird Swedish ergonomic chair together wrong… but how could they be sure, really?

    Did people actually sit in chairs designed like the one the sheik is on? Watch for a gap at the intersection of the two planks — if it flexes open wider when you sit, it may make you into a eunuch when you arise. Mountain oysters, anyone?

    In The Harem

    Paste (including the quote marks) 

    "Category:Undated paintings" Wikimedia 

    (syntax supported by the Google, Bing, Yahoo, DuckDuckGo, Ecosia, and Yandex search engines) in the browser address bar (or search for it using one of those search engines) and choose the first Category: found and once there find the text string Harem, and click its link for info and links that point to more info (perhaps best viewed using the Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox browsers, which can automatically translate most webpages if necessary) about this roughly jumbo envelope size, oil on panel (impressive to me anyway, given the detail for its size, shown by the hi-def image) painting. 

    Again, a larger strip image is shown by (Ctrl- or right-) clicking the image in Mr. Melcher’s MASTERPIECE #3253 (January 16, 2024) blog entry, accessible by the Check out the blog! box after the last comment, and using the dropdown menu (even larger, if you trim what’s after .jpg from the URL). I have added a comment there pointing to info about this artist I used to point to here. Only work by him used here so far.
