Carried by two Iraqi men:

Big white sign (2' x 6') with bold letters

"Go Home Human Shield
You U.S. banana"

That is priceless!!!

The best shot I saw...

One arab holding a tapestry of Saddam, hitting it with a show.

A second Iraqi comes up, lifts his robe, and starts Skull F*cking the dictators face!!!

I was rolling!

Only on Fox!

apparently hitting with the shoe has heavy cultural significance in the MidEast, dunno about the other thing

I think the other thing is universal. Dowding? Comment? J/K bro!

I've been told the shoe thing is the greatest insult in the middle east.

Well you shouldn't rise your feet to the table if you visit in arabic family, you shouldn't give them anything with left hand and you should leave some of the meal to the plate.
Showing your foot's downside (what ever, against ground) is a great insult, people wipe their bellybutton with left hand and if you eat everything from your plate they will carry more and more and more and more...

Well, if they visit me at the Silver Dollar Saloon in Ennis Montana, they shouldn't wear robes, wear bluejeans...don't ask the bartender politely for a beer, say "Gimme a beer". Chewing and spitting is permitted as long as you use the Spitoon or a coffee cup. Eat EVERYTHING on your plate because "somewhere in the world, children are starving". Wipe your bellybutton with either hand, just make sure you wash them when you're finished, and flush the whoopee toilet when your done, Son!

(P.S. Are cultures a wonderful thing? We have them too.)

AFAIK they cant wipe their asses. Usually they have a small hose in the toilet seat for that.

They didn't have toilet seats last time i was there, they had a hole in the floor with two foot treads things on either side of it.

not even a rail to grab onto for balance..

When I was in Europe we had to pay at a turnstyle to get into the damn rest rooms. And the toilet stalls had pay locks on them.

And my older relatives laughed at our bathroom because the tub and the toilet are in the same room. That isn't the case anymore.

I remember reading a story on this forum about how somebody overseas watched two waitresses complain after other "Rich, snobbish Americans left money on their table, assuming we poor Europeans cannot afford to live!"

He broke into their conversation and had to explain to them what a T.I.P. was (To Insure Promptness). It is expected with a meal and rude to NOT leave one. In the USA it is actually part of your wage and even taxed at some restraunts.

They changed their attitudes after that.

I don't think "tip" is an acronym. And isn't ensure and insure similar but not really the same thing? I typically spell that meaning "ensure." But isn't that a fiber drink too?...maybe I'll stop using it then.
