Tell Me My Father, Why Are You Still Wearing All That Desert Stuff ?

Common Sense Commentary: I understand the Sahara Desert was once a fertile, lush, fruitful paradise populated with people. But something happened .....



A  young Arab boy asks his father, "What is that weird hat you are  wearing?"

The  father says, "Why, it's a 'chechia' because in the desert it protects our  heads from the sun."

"And what is this type of clothing  you are wearing?" asks the young man.

"It's a 'djbellah'  because in the desert it is very hot and it protects our bodies from the sun and helps us perspire and keep cool" says the  father.

The son asks, "And what about those ugly shoes on  your feet?"

His father replies, "These are ‘babouches'  which keep us from burning our feet in the desert."

"Tell  me," adds the boy.

"Yes, my son?"

"Why are you living in Dearborn, Michigan, and still wearing all this desert stuff ?"

"We are working on that, my son. Dearborn and Detroit will be declared a glorious desert within a year and we will be prepared for it. Everyone else will convert or move to Elsewhere, Somewhere and we will own all these empty auto factories, ghettos and skid rows to raise terrorists, build bombs and milk camels.
