the perfect woman....

have you ever had problems sleeping during those hot and balmy sumer nights? you know the ones where you seem to stick to everything and everything else that you don't stick to you want to just make go away? and how annoying is it when your woman comes in for a cuddle and all she does is make you sweat? well..... here's the solution!!!
introducing the wooden wife! and no shit that is what it's called. i managed to take this snap at the hanok village in seoul, which is a tourist attraction now, and this was as close as i could get to it. it has a very funny name but it has a very interesting back story and an even more interesting use.
the wooden wife dates back to the 14th century when king sejong was in rule. he is said to have been the most cleverest of the emperors because of how he invented the hangeul alphabet enabling the entire population of korea to be educated and improve communication. his other credits included the wooden wife. yeah big up sejong!
being made from bamboo, which is one of the coolest woods around, it is of a sturdy design and has the one use: to not make you hot when you sleep in the summer.
when you were tired of your multiple women, who were let's face it, just far too hot for you on a summer night, one could retire to the outdoor balcony and wrap themselves around the trusty old cool wife and snuggle in for a good nights sleep. also being about six feet long, you could wrap the entire body around it, ensuring you comfortable and well rested for a full day of ruling your country when you wake in the morn.
she didn't fight back, you most certainly didn't want to saw your arm off in the morning, and i imagine you could probably open a beer on her when the need arose. what more could the ruler of a truly great nation ask for?
