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?

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.

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.

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

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/

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?
