| #16 Is there any Muslim proverbial equivalent to "what's good for the goose is good for the gander."? We could then put Gitmo under Sharia Law. Anybody that puts toothpaste up their anus could be forced to get a switch from the switching tree. |

| #15 #14 Most likely a twig from a Miswak tree used as a toothbrush. (Although it could also have something to do with accuracy.:) ) |

| #10 Apparently in Muslim culture, not sleeping with your wife is considered punishing her. I'd say it was more of a relief for the wife, myself, given the rest of shar'ia . . . |

| #6 I guess we'll see how well this goes over with the blondies in Northern Eurostan in another generation or so, if Shar'ia takes that long to be implemented there. |
