** Man forced to marry four wives in six months **

A Saudi man is in hospital after his divorced parents forced him to marry four times
 within six months. The battle began when the father insisted the boy should marry
a girl from his side of the family.

The mother retaliated by ordering him to wed a girl from her side, reports Arab News
quoting Al-Watan daily.
But the father wasn't happy with the balance of power and insisted on a third wife
from his side, to show who was boss.
The mother, not to be outdone, then demanded that her son include another wife
 from her side of the family.

The son has now been admitted to a hospital for psychological treatment.
 He is refusing to see his parents or his wives.

From The London Times: 
A Well-Planned Retirement


Outside England 's Bristol Zoo there is a parking lot for 150 cars and 8 buses. For 25 years, its parking fees were managed by a very pleasant attendant.....
 The fees for cars ($1.40), for buses (about $7)

Then, one day, after 25 solid years of never missing
 a day of work, he just didn' t show up; so the zoo management called the city council and asked it to send them another parking agent
The council did some research and replied that the parking lot was the zoo's own responsibility.
 The zoo advised the council that the attendant was a city employee. 
The city council responded that the lot attendant had never been on the city payroll. 

Meanwhile, sitting in his villa somewhere on the coast of Spain or France or Italy is a man who'd apparently had a ticket machine installed completely on his own and then had simply begun to show up every day, commencing to collect and keep the parking fees, estimated at about $560 per day -- for 25 years.
 
Assuming 7 days a week, this amounts to
 just over $7 million dollars ...... and no one even knows his name. 
I think this is my favorite e-mail ever!
