A young Arab boy asks his father, “What is that strange hat you are wearing?”
“Why, this is a chechia,” the father said, “and it protects my head from the desert sun.”
“And what is this robe you are wearing?” asked the young man.
“It’s a djbellah,” the father replied, “and it protects my body from the desert heat.”
The son asked, “And what about those strange shoes on your feet?”
“These are babouches,” the father answered, “and they keep my feet from burning in the scorching desert sands.”
“Tell me,” said the boy.
“Yes, my son?”
“Why is it we’re living in Detroit and you’re still wearing all this shit?”

The Editor is right, we all need a good laugh so here goes.
Bill Gates, Newt Gingrich, and President Obama were sitting naked in the sauna.
Suddenly there is a beeping sound and when Gates presses his forearm the beeping stops. The others look at him questioningly. "That's my pager,” he says. "I have a microchip under the skin of my arm."
A few minutes later a phone rings. Newt lifts his palm to his ear and when he finishes he explains, "That's my mobile phone. I have a microchip in my hand."
President Obama, feeling decidedly low-tech but not to be outdone, decided he had to
do something just as impressive. He steps out of the sauna, goes to the men’s room and when he returns he has a piece of toilet paper hanging out of his ass.
The others raised their eyebrows and said, "Wow! What's that?"
"I'm receiving a Fax," he explains.
LOLOLOL wow!
That so hilarious! I love it!
Good stuff. I've been using laundry top as my derog for them since the first time I saw a camel race.
I was told that Arabs don't like it when people refer to the towel on their heads as rags. They are not rags they are sheets.
In the future please do not refer to them as "rag heads" they are "sheet heads" .
It's liberating to acknowledge that so much of the drama can be reduced to ridiculously simple truths. Pow! And the deer dropped dead.
I hope it isn't "violent rhetoric" to say:
BadaBing! BadaBang! BadaBoom!
Screw em' if it is...that was a great joke! Islamaphob? maybe I am.
Great joke.
COMEDY GOLD!
Actually, you could just cut the entire thing down to "Why is it we're living in Detroit?"
I see we have one Detroit dweller.
