A simple man with simple needs

When I worked in landscaping an endlessly kind and friendly Turkish man whom I worked with loved to make this joke. I don't even know how many times he told it.



It's not a big thing anymore, but when I was a small child and people from Turkey were very new to my country I do remember wondering why ALL the married women were overweight. It had to do with status. Having a big wife meant having enough money to buy a lot of food.
