Website tip: Arts of a Sahourian

Yesterday my father and I visited Iman and Khaaled el-Shoumali, who doesn't only write poetry and short stories but draws, takes pictures and gives special attention for kids.
He has an interesting website in three languages, which you'd really like to spend some time on.. the website is simple and very relaxing.

SANK YOU FOR FELYING ON EGYPT AIR

zis is your captain Haridi welcoming both seated and standing passengers on board of Egypt Air.

We apologize for z four days delay in taking off, it was due to bad weazer and some overtime I had to put in at z bakery baking Kaak.

zis is flight 717 to Alexandria Airport. Landing zer is not guaranteed, but we will end up somewhere in Egypt. And, if luck is in our favor, we may even be landing on your village !

Egypt Air has an excellent safety-record. In fact, our safety standards are so high, zat even terrorists are afraid to fly wiz us!

It is wiz pleasure; I announce zat, starting zis year, over 30% of our passengers have reached zeir destination.

If our engines are too noisy for you, on passenger request, we can arrange to turn zem off in order to make sure you are feeling comfortable!

We regret to inform you, zat today's in-flight movie will not be shown as we forgot to record it from z television. However, for our movie buffs, we will be flying right next to Somalia Airlines, where zeir movie will be visible from z right side of z cabin window.

zere is no smoking allowed in zis airplane. Any smoke you see in z cabin is only z early warning system on z engines telling us to slow down!

In order to catch important landmarks, we try to fly as close as possible for z best view. If however, we go a little too close, do let us know. Our enthusiastic co-pilot sometimes flies right srough z landmark!

Kindly be seated, keep your seat in an upright position for take-off and fasten your seat-belt. For zose of you who can't find a seat-belt, kindly fasten your own belt to z arm of your seat . And, for zose of you who can't find a seat, do not hesitate to get in touch wiz a stewardess who will explain how to fasten yourself to your suitcase.

sanking you all for choosing Egypt Air to fly for z first and last time,

I Wish you a nice trip,

Regards from ..

Captain Haridi

joke

On a flight to Chicago, a gentleman had made several attempts to get into the men's restroom, but it had always been occupied. The flight attendant noticed his predicament.

Sir, she said,"You may use the ladies room if you promise not to touch any of the buttons on the wall."

He did what he needed to, and as he sat there he noticed the buttons he had promised not to touch. Each button was identified by letters: WW, WA, PP, and a red one labeled ATR. Who would know if he touched them?

He couldn't resist. He pushed WW. Warm water was sprayed gently upon his bottom.

What a nice feeling, he thought. Men's restrooms don't have nice things like this.
Anticipating greater pleasure, he pushed the WA button. Warm air replaced the warm water, gently drying his underside.

When this stopped, he pushed the PP button. A large powder puff caressed his bottom adding a fragile scent of spring flowers to this unbelievable pleasure. The ladies restroom was more than a restroom, it is tender loving pleasure. When the powder puff completed its pleasure, he couldn't
wait to push the ATR button which he knew would be supreme ecstasy.

Next thing he knew he was in a hospital as soon as he opened his eyes. A nurse was staring down at him with a smirk on her face. "What happened?" he exclaimed. "You pushed one too many buttons," replied the nurse. "The last button marked ATR was an Automatic Tampon Remover. Your penis is under your pillow."

joke

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named
Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.
The teacher said, 'Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who
said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?
She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up:
'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.
'Very good!'
Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not
perish from the Earth?'
Again, no response except from Chandrasekhar.
'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.
The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed.
Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history
than you do.'
She heard a loud whisper: 'F**k the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded. Chandrasekhar put his hand up. 'General
Custer, 1862.'
At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm gonna puke.' The teacher
glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?' Again, Chandrasekhar
says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'
Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!' Chandrasekhar
jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the
teacher , 'Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky, 1997!'
Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say
anything else, I'll kill you.'
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice, ' Michael Jackson
to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.'
The teacher fainted. And as the class gathered around the teacher on the
floor, someone said, 'Oh sh*t, we're f**ked!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietly,
I think it was George Bush, Iraq , 2007.'

joke

little boy was doing his math homework.
He said to himself:
'Two plus five, the son of a bitch is seven.
Three plus six, the son of a bitch is nine...'
His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, 'What are you doing?'
The little boy answered, 'I'm doing my math homework, Mom.'

'And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?' the mother asked.
'Yes,' he answered.
Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, 'What are you teaching my son in math?'
The teacher replied, 'Right now, we are learning addition.'

The mother asked, 'And are you teaching them to say two plus two, the son of a bitch is four?'
;After the teacher stopped laughing, He answered, 'What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four.'

from Hani

On Thursday I will begin a trip to Germany for 2 weeks. That means I must leave Beit Sahour Wednesday to Jordan.

With Debora and Nael we travel to Rotterdam to celebrate the birthday of Amjad the great.

After that I will have time to meet the rest of the family in Germany.

it was me, i wanted to delete the link of s ayarti from darQassis, and by a mistake both boxes (sa yarti and the photos) were deleted.
Rula told she sent also some pictures, so maybe we'll have them soon.
Maybe we need also a video presentation for dummies on how to use, register, post and comment on darQassis, so that we'll have wider participation. Text is again boring, we live a video revolution.

And we would need some hot topics (or hot videos) to make the site interesting again for the young generation, like Saif (blogs champion in July), Maher, Marwan, Barhoum and so on. Mahers post last time raised the visitors quote to the blog.
Actually from Mahira I would like to hear something. After a bombastic wedding, she disappeared. You are still darQassis Mahira, your husband as well.

enjoy your day, and think how to reattract the youngsters again (incl. Rami and Rifat)

salamat,
Nael

Where are the pictures???

Hello all,

where is the link to the "family album"? Can anyone help?
Amjad

the family has two teeth less!

i took today the last two wisdom teeth, so if i had some wisdom, I should have had used it.
i don't want to add scary pictures, i think you still have in mind the picture from last time, when i took the other two.

generally, it is getting better slowly, but you know, a bit pain, still bleeding and I'm hungry and all these uncomfortable things.

please don't send chocolate because i still can't chew, unless some powder for beautiful hot nice bitter chocolate.
