Youll have heard about the young lass in the harem, of course. The Sultan had picked her at birth to eventually be his wife, so she spent all her young life learning the appropriate skills and aptitudes. And she did quite well, except for one problem: when it came time to interact in a social setting with her new husband (court eunuchs standing in for the Sultan in these training sessions) she was completely apathetic. She knew how to behave in formal situations, how to dance, which fork to use with each course, how to sparkle wittily but not too wittily -- but she simply didnt care. She had no enthusiasm for the task of dining and dancing and all that party stuff. Eventually she had to be sacked from the job and sent off to exile in some foreign hellhole like Paris or New York. In short, they were raisin her to be the currant sultana, but she didnt care a fig about dates.
