#11  Try as I might, I just can't get used to bacon schnapps. I guess it'll just have to be Wild Turkey and prociutto...

#10  I carry it on my breath most everywhere I go.
Works like a charm, I've not had a muslim talk to me in years. At least nobody that LOOKS muslim.
Its like AIDS, you can't always tell by looking at them.

#9  I keep saying.

Cross + Garlic for vampires.

Silver for werewolves.

Alcohol + Pork for Muslims.

If you don't want to be pestered by Muslims, you have to carry liquor and pork around.

#8  It seems many Arabs have problems with self-control. Booze tends to release inhabitions. It seems Mohammad might have known his audience.

Of course if one is always using training wheels on a safe flat track they won't be prepared for the tour de France race that is the real world. Entire nations might just come in last place.

#3  Well thats ok, I don't think I would have got along with Carrie Nation either.

Little story, went and visited a friend in Virginia who had just got back from Iraq; I had to spend the night in Atlanta due to storms. That morning we went to play golf and heck yeah we had some beers. Paired with a couple of mohommatons to make a four-some. They were nice at first but then started avoiding us, not even chit chat during the tee box. Now I'm not so sure what was bothering them more, that we were drinking in front of them or that we were so much better than them at golf while we were drinking.

#2  Alcohol, food and gender relations are the key barriers to social interaction between Muslim and non-Muslim Australians, a study suggests.
