Of Tractors and Concubines

Posted on Thursday 13 July 2006Thursday 13 July 2006 by Joshua

The other day, my blonde-headed friend, Robert, and I were driving down the road. A large tractor approached us and as it thundered past, he said, “Oh, that’s a tractor. I thought it was one of those concubines.” I sputtered, “What?!” He goes, “You know, a concubine.” I started laughing so hard, but managed to get out, “You mean combine?!” He said, “Yeah, that’s what I mean.” Still laughing, I asked, “Do you even know what a concubine is?”

I was impressed that he knew the word concubine though. For those of you in the midwest who may not have ever read the King James Version of the Bible, a concubine is a woman who cohabits with a man without being legally married to him. Oddly enough, Solomon had 300 concubines (along with 700 wives). Not oddly enough, they turned his heart away from God. ** EDIT ** [And after I wrote that… I checked the other translations and they all use the word concubine.]

So next time you see one of those big green concubines coming down the road, just remember to get out of her way.

    Classic.

    “…a woman who cohabits with a man without being legally married to him.”
    You could have just said whore. But I like that you try. 🙂

    That was hilarious! Oh how I miss the Robert comments of the day. When I read your comment on my xanga I busted out laughing and everyone in the staff lounge just looked at me strangely. It was great. I tried to leave a comment on Robert’s web site, but this lap top that I am on would not show the letters that you have to type, so I could not leave one. So sad. Anyway, I have to get going, but keep me filled in on the Robert quotes.
