#17 Damn Persians could'nt handle a 454. Ever notice how few Persians are in NASCAR? Ever wonder why the Scuderia never signed a Persian driver? It's the lack of the extra ankle bone, it gives them cleverness and vicious guile, but precludes them from serious heel and toe work. |

#16 From LSU on an excursion To spread Ayatollan subversion: Iranian scholars. Orleanian hollers, "Say, cap, is that Chevrolet Persian?" |

#15 Please to forgive absence of goat and fiddling No apolly wollies! Even without caprine collusion, it was a festival of trans-gerundism. Which I'm sure is a word. |

#14 when asked where they are from, invariably say Persia. Fascinating. When I was a child, the Jews who'd fled that part of the world and ended up in Buffalo (French-speaking Montreal, their previous stop, was too cold), referred to themselves as Persian Jews. But a number of non-Jews who'd escaped the Ayatollahs haughtily informed me they were not Persians but Iranian. Have they now changed their minds for some reason? All is forgiven for the sake of the verb and the image, Zenobia F. Poems go where they must, not where we want them to, even limericks. |

#13 Obama and Merkel, Chagalling: He buoyantly smirking (enthralling!), She stolidly hauling But awkwardly sprawling And stalling and falling... appalling. Meh. Please to forgive absence of goat and fiddling. |

#12 Old grouches grow grumbly and whiskery, Though why this is so is a mystery. They cuss, disrespect us, And try to direct us, Based solely on something called "history." |

#10 Second Dale's comment; dance instructor's Spousal Unit is Persian; her brother was murdered for 'crimes' against the former regime. |

#9 Yes SFF, but they gave up to quickly, if they had persevered we would have launched the Manned Orbiting Lab and tested DynaSoar, they did both countries a disservice. :( We, or they would have been on Mars by now. Stupid EmOhOhEn, that spelled trouble. |

#8 I have found persons from Iran; when asked where they are from, invariably say Persia. |

#7 Don't forget Yakov Smirnoff and classic Wendy's commercial. Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo. |

#5 14-15 year old Bolshoi students the year before I was born. I like older women, but not that much older... |

#4 More likely India ... but quickly spread to Persia from there. Although, the Russians do seem pretty adept at it ... |

#3 Just for historical accuracy, the Persians gave us chess. |

#2 They gave us $35M. Whoops, wait a minute that was not us as in we the people but it was linked to the Democrat Party and illegal. Hillary Clinton’s campaign chairman John Podesta sat on the board of a small energy company alongside Russian officials that received $35 million from a Putin-connected Russian government fund, a relationship Podesta failed to fully disclose on his federal financial disclosures as required by law. |
