Humoring the English.

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

The father said, "Why, my son, it is a 'chechia.' In the desert it
protects our heads from the intense heat of the sun."

"And what is this clothing you are wearing?” asked the boy. “This long
flowing robe seems so…”

“Oh, my son!” exclaimed the father. “It is very simple. This is a
'djbellah.' As I have told you, in the desert it is not only very hot,
but the sand is always blowing. My djbellah protects the entire body,”

The son then asked, "But Father, what about those ugly shoes you have on
your feet?"

"These are 'babouches' my son,” the father replied "You must understand
that although the desert sands are very beautiful, they are also
extremely hot. These 'babouches' keep us from burning our feet."



"So tell me then," added the boy...



"Yes, my son…"



"Why are you living in London and still wearing all this shit?
