Was randomly Wikipedia-ing when I came across an article about Delilah cutting off Samson's hair.
I have to say I totally sympathise with her.
She was sleeping with this man, for God's sake. I imagine that they didn't have nice smelling shampoos because Fekkai is soooo a new millennium thing. Plus Samson, being the macho he-man he is made out to be, wouldn't have washed that often anyway.
Whats a girl to do?
Chop off his locks, obviously.
Especially if he'd gone hunting and carried a dead creature on his back. Needless to say fleas, flies, matted blood, and other ghastly gories does NOT an attractive man make. I'm sure you get the picture.
I feel for her because I've recently found myself in her position.
Only in my case, the offending matter is my husband's toenails.
Oh how they get my gall!
They snag the embroidery on our best sheets, and sometimes they scratch me.
Most of the time they just look offensive.
Is it worth bringing it up to his attention and waste what little valuable time we have together discussing toenails? I don't think so. We've got better things to do.
So I do exactly as Delilah does. Brandish the toenail clippers and then file happily away while he's fast asleep. The trick is not to cut too much and file away the edges so he doesn't notice. Not once has he ever woken from his slumber while I'm happily snipping away.
He's happily oblivious, I'm happily not offended.
And so we live happily ever after.
