a head on a platter.

The king said to the girl, “Ask me for anything you want, and I’ll give it to you.”  

And he promised her with an oath, “Whatever you ask I will give you, up to half my kingdom.”

She went out and said to her mother, “What shall I ask for?”

“The head of John the Baptist,” she answered.

At once the girl hurried in to the king with the request: “I want you to give me right now the head of John the Baptist on a platter.”

The king was greatly distressed, but because of his oaths and his dinner guests, he did not want to refuse her.  
So he immediately sent an executioner with orders to bring John’s head. The man went, beheaded John in the prison, and brought back his head on a platter. He presented it to the girl, and she gave it to her mother.

- Mark 6:22-28


If my father gave me a wishlist, I know what would be at the top.

Also, "the girl"s mother left her father for the king. Cheap woman. Again, I say: CHEAP.

I'm sorry, I have no compassion for these people.

There's just no excuse for adultery.

The point is not whether the guy she left her husband for is a king or a pauper. The point is that she left her husband for another man.
