Joke Of The Day: Arab Garb

Rubber Chicken A young Arab boy asks his father, “What is that weird hat you are wearing?”

The father said, “Why, it’s a ‘chechia’ because in the desert it protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun.”

“And what is this type of clothing that you are wearing?” asked the young man.

“It’s a ‘djbellah’ because in the desert it is very hot and it protects the body.” said the father.

The son asked, “And what about those ugly shoes on your feet?

His father replied, “These are ‘babouches”, which keep us from burning our feet from hot sand in the desert.”

Joke Of The Day: Middle East Assignment

Rubber Chicken A disappointed soft drink salesman returned from his Middle East assignment. His boss asked, “Why weren’t you successful with the Arabs?”

The salesman explained, “When I got posted in the Middle East, I was very sure to make a good sales pitch as our product was virtually unknown there. I didn’t know to speak Arabic, so I planned to convey the message through three posters. My first poster was a man crawling through the hot desert sand, totally exhausted and panting. Second, the man is drinking our soft drink and third, our man is now totally refreshed. Then these posters were pasted all over the place”

“That should have worked,” said the boss.

The salesman replied, “Well, not only did I not speak Arabic, but I didn’t realize that Arabs read from right to left.”

Joke Of The Day: Turn Off The Radio

Rubber Chicken A devout Arab Muslim entered a black cab in London.

The cab driver politely switched off the radio, stopped the cab and opened the door.

The Arab Muslim asked him, “What are you doing?”

The cabbie answered, “In the time of the prophet there were no taxis, so get out and wait for a camel!”
