#1 Jihad in Nashville is an easy way to get dragged through the streets by a horse. After they beat you to death with guitars, that is.

#3 Yes, Ahmed, those are real guns in the gun racks in the pickups. Word of advice: don't lean on the horn like you do back in WackyStan.

#7 Mahmoud was not too bright. He just doesn't understand the nuances of our culture here in God's country (Tennessee, that is). Is there a jihadist's Darwin Award??? He just might qualify.

#9 Got that right AP, perhaps the melody of A Boy Named Abu would work.

#10 Seems like I remember investigating an accident a couple of years ago in Nashville. Guy's name might have been Abu. Was driving at night without lights. Maybe he started his jihad a couple of years ago--either that or just a piss poor driver.

#14 John QC: In Cairo they drive at night with their lights off, "to save the batteries." And then they go the other way down one-way streets, "because its a short cut."

#15 tw - And, I assume Cairo is much like Saudi, where they don't stop at intersections - they give a short honk... if they don't hear an aswering honk, they don't stop at the stop signs. Stop lights, being used only in the congested traffic areas, as far as I could tell, are mostly obeyed, sorta. If a guy wants to turn right, but there's someone stopped in the right lane, but the left turn lane is open, then they'll go to the left turn lane and then turn right - across the other lanes. It IS with the flow of traffic on the other street, after all. Now for the reverse situation where they're turning left but don't want to wait for a green, well, that gets kinda dicey from the right lane, heh. The hood ornament is more of an aiming reticle, where lanes are concerned - lanes just don't hold the same magic as they do in the West. There's much more, such as double and triple parking and backing up on freeways when they miss their exit, but the whole automotive section of 3rd World Physics can't truly be absorbed in one sitting, so I'll stop.
