Bring out your falafel, burkas, pita bread, refugees, oil.... or a Bedouguin on a camel. |

I give you Max Brenner - the world's first Middle Eastern Chocolatier, now internationally known as "Chocolates by the Bald Man".

Here I am with another crude cheese joke.
If cars could run on cheese, Wisconsin would have the world at its feet!
Would the phrase have to be altered to 'Peace in the Middle North'? |

This picture appeared on a site called Kaleidoscope (which you may recognise as a Kuwaiti & Middle Eastern literary blog magazine 'where writers and thinkers meet to exemplify, vivify, and stylistically liquefy'). It was accompanied by several readers' observations about the wearing of the Hijab and Niqab, feminism, eroticism, and the requirements laid down in the Koran and Hadith.
Needless to say, the emotions it stirred up in me were considerably shallower and baser, in fact infinitely more superficial and low-brow.  |

I suppose 'I'd drive several miles to buy a decent cigar' doesn't have quite the same ring to it. |

| About as catchy as the short-lived Cuban slogan "Walk? Hell, we'll BRING you cigars if you don't intercept our floatillas." |

Hey, that's not a problem! As far as that sea's concerned, the deader the better!
But I voted.
