Reason to be thankful

Mar 05, 2007 22:56

After school today [you know when I begin my stories with that phrase, it's gonna be something saucy], I walked across the footbridge and sat down on the bench at the bus-stop. Three other guys - casually dressed students - were sitting with me on the bench. The one immediately next to me was wearing a black dishdasha, but he wasn't an Arab ( Read more... )

Daniyal, can you call American numbers in the UAE?

If so, give him 216-296-6085. It's the standard number you give out in a bar to a jackass like that - it's the Reject hotline.

Other than that, game set match to Daniyal.

Oh you can definitely call American numbers from the UAE. For around a dollar a minute, but yes you can!
Though I think he would have guessed - even with his 2 brain cells - that the number wasn't one of the UAE :)

Thanks for the tip, though, haha.

Why did you even have this conversation. You should have simply told him to go away.

I couldn't do that.. I mean, he was there for a good reason - he was waiting for the bus. Oddly though, I like talking to such stupid people too.

people are disgusting. i think you're pretty nifty.

Thank you :)
This guy was typical UAE-bred, though, so I wasn't surprised.

*looks blankly* All I can find in the Qur'an is the bit about how Allah "sent down iron" to mankind. And Googling "hadith iron airplane" brought up as the first "hit" a page with Islamic prophecies on the end of the world, one of which is a hadith from Ahmad ibn Hanbal about how the Dajjal will supposedly come mounted on a "white donkey 40 cubits long"--which is interpreted on this site as meaning an airplane 60 feet across. But of course, I have no way of knowing if this was what he was thinking of!

I suppose it would have been in bad taste to mention that the airplane was invented by non-Muslims who didn't use ANY sacred text as their guide, but the laws of science/physics/mechanics. :-P

Where do these people come from, anyway?!?

Yeah, I searched the Qur'an too, for some mention of iron. All I found was what you mentioned and the command in Surah Bani Israel to turn to iron etc. I don't remember now.
That's a hilarious description of Air India's airplanes - white donkeys, 40 cubits long!

Ah, but Orville and Wilbur Wright were secretly manic Muslims and Kitty Hawk used to be the landing pad of mulit-colored donkeys 40 to 60 cubits long.

This guy was clearly Pakistani, providing proof for my theory that Pakistanis are idiots lol.

Well, it's not necessarily HIS fault he's from the Land of the Pure...though being an idiot certainly is! :-P

Argh, no! Some people don't know what razors are, you know?
