One wife: you are happy

Two wives: you are tired

Three wives: they hate each other

Four wives: they hate you!

I recently read a similar (exact same?) quote in the book "The Name of The Wind" by Patrick Rothfuss. Almost certainly not the genesis of this quote but it's the only instance I know of.
