"Procrustes" is a word in ENGLISH
A celebrated legendary highwayman of Attica, who tied
his victims upon an iron bed, and, as the case required, either
stretched or cut of their legs to adapt them to its length; -- whence
the metaphorical phrase, the bed of Procrustes.
If you're a woman, it's almost impossible to establish a relationship. You're too much for everybody. It's too much. The woman always has to play this role of being fragile and dependent. And if you're not, they're fascinated by you, but only for a little while. And then they want to change you and crush you. And then they leave.

It was about a month ago when a man in Amsterdam felt that he needed to confess, so went to his priest:"Forgive me Father, for I have sinned. During WWII I hid a refugee in my attic.""Well," answered the priest, "that's not a sin.""But I made him agree to pay me 20 Gulden for every week he stayed." "I admit that wasn't good, but you did it for a good cause." "Oh, thank you, Father; that eases my mind. I have one more question..." "What is that, my son?" "Do I have to tell him the war is over?"
