I’m not sure what you’re trying to say (or why) Amad, but in any case, I am sure of one thing: he deserved it!
I think a lot of husbands can empathize with lion “king”.
I think iMuslim’s comment proved Amad’s point :)
i think he asked her whats wrong, and she said you should already know
Interesting post..
You guys have it all wrong. The captions are as follows.
Lioness: Can you hear anything?
Lion: Hold on, I’m trying to make out what they’re saying! Something about a transfer to San Diego???
Lioness: Those blasted humans! Next time they come bring us food I’m gonna have them for lunch!
lol! :)
He should just say, “I’m sorry honey!“.
well she does all the hunting
I can totally relate to it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SECOND WIFE?????????????
HAHAHA. Listen, sister, Islam allows limited polygyny, okay?
Yes, she does all the hunting and all the hAunting as well.
What is interesting is that so many Muslim men would relate to this post, not dissimilar to most other cultures. So much for the oppressed-wife stereotype when even Hassan, the punjabi sher, relates to it! In fact, I would venture to guess that the majority of desi husbands are essentially hen-pecked, even if they act like lions outside :) At least, that’s what my wife wants me to believe :)
Lion: I mean, I think, please listen… I thought you need some help around the home and to tear apart all those bambis, don’t you? I was really thinking about you darling…
HAHAHAHAHA!
Lion may be the king of jungle, but a slave at home.
:lol:
HAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA. GOLDEN.
Now that is a classic! A wife certainly is a wife…lol….
He should just say sorry!
What is it with you?! You waltz into the den at one in the morning redolent of lioness and don’t see anything the matter!
Lioness: How does my breath smell?
Lioness: I want to go to an AlMaghrib course, i want to go, YOU PROMISED MISTER! Grrrrrrr
Lion: I know honey, but i..i..i..ummm….c..c..can..t…can i have my keys please.
Lioness: *twinckle in the eye* you need your keys eh? hahahaha
Lion: uh oh
SubhanAllah that made me laugh
A woman can control her husband by her treatment towards him….he trully becomes the slave of the house….lol….well sometimes!
aww subhanAllah, the poor lion looks defeated.
I will not nag at my husband- for today atleast! :D
Who’s Yo Daddy!
yes, yes, darling, you haven’t gained a pound and that new hide looks just perfect.
another growl later…
…
that was a size L hide, not your “regular” M? now, now, let me look carefully, it does look loose on you… why didn’t you buy the right size girl?
Lionness: The other lioness said my breath stinks…. what do you think?
Lion: Umm.. *backs into corner
She caught him checking out another lioness.
Lol
Lioness: I’ll repeat the question again: do I look fat?!
lol
Lion: Well..
Hilarious comments!!
Lion: Honey, please, not today… don’t make a scene…the school kids are outside our cage….
Lioness: scene, SCENE???! I’LL SHOW YOU A SCENE!!!
Go sit in the corner and stay there until you’re ready to apologize.
Hahaha! Some of your comments are funny guys!
hahah, totally awesome. :P
“Yeesh, all I said was it could use a little more salt.”
All I have to say is that the photographer has gotta be a man…and i’d just like to point out a guy posted it too!
HAHA…
You forgot to take out the trash, AGAIN!!!!
Lion: I just wanted to go hang out with the boys! Take it easy honey!
Lioness: take it easy?! TAKE… IT…. EASY?!?! I’ll show you EASY! RAAWWRRRR
Lion: ahh..**whimpers** please please i’m soorryyy! I won’t do it again!! **backs into a corner**
READ MY JAWS! Not another wiFe!
Some of the comments are hilarious. but i have got to say women just always want to control…was up wit that sisters…anyway it was funny
Hey, anyone who can relate emotionally to the above image may want to consider reading:
Men are from Mars, Women are From Venus
and
Mars and Venus Together Forever: Relationship Skills for Lasting Love
The latter is awesome sisters:) Please read it. I kid you not, the $15.00 will change the way you deal with men.
Brother may wish to browse through it if they feel like they just don’t get women and their “feelings”; if they don’t, it’s no big deal.
I showed this to my wife and the first thing she said was “stupid lazy lion, that’s why they get yelled at.” lol
Lioness: How do I look?
Lion: Well….the fur behind your
Lioness: (HUGE roar)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lion: You look great! :)
Maybe he just has a hearing problem
:s
This is like the funniest post I read in a long time….A caption winner should be chosen!!
Lion: I knew I should of read
Mars and Venus Together Forever: Relationship Skills for Lasting Love
Idiot!
“wife-o-phobia”?!
Caption is simple:
CHUDDOO
But the men forget that in every other culture the woman walks out for the smallest thing that she cant adjust to. Its only us that really give in and give in and keep giving in!! So there are days when we deserve to be like the lioness in the pic!!
You forgot to add this:
“*Please note that the opinions expressed in this post, like all op-ed pieces on MM, represent the viewpoint of the author, and are not necessarily endorsed by all MM writers*”
This is such a widely-read site, yet I find some of your articles are too biased.
Unfortunately truth has bias. You show me a picture of lion shouting at lioness.
Lion: Brothers stayed for a little longer and I forgot to wash the…..
Lioness: whatttt,
im reading something completely different from the pic… too me it looks like the lion is wasted, maybe tried to sneak in late at night after a “haram night out” only to catch the mrs. awake and waiting…
lioness…”WHOSE WHISKERS ARE THOSE ON YOUR MANE!!!!”
Astagh! silly kafirs…
A salaamu aleikum
I’m new to this sight and perhaps I don’t fit in, but I’m Muslim
so
my opinion matters :-)
All jokes aside
this is not the way Allah wants us to treat each other
considering the status of most marriages and people’s fears about entering marriage (thus leaving themselves at risk of committing sin)
I wish we wouldn’t spend so much time joking about this
If today’s women are whiners, complainers, lashing out at their husbands…
It seems both men AND women are at fault.
Sisters ought to do their best to show their husbands respect
Brothers ought to do their best to maintain the respect of their wives.
Give us reason to admire you, to be pleased with you, to be proud of you.
perhaps the ingredients for happily ever after.
question! Can’t she be the mom of the lion-son?! He looks younger :D
Lioness: “I’ve brought you dinner for the last five years, put up with all your bad habits, and taught your cubs every useful thing they know — and you walk in here saying “Practimate looks like a good idea?!?!?!?!?” If you like Shaykh Yaser so much, maybe you should go live in his den!
WHAT DO YOU MEAN, A SECOND WIFE?!
