Appropriate attire !

[Ergodyne]

A young Arab asks his father, "What is this weird hat that we are wearing ?"

 

"It's a 'chechia' because, in the desert, it protects our heads from the sun !!"

 

"And what is this type of clothing that we are wearing ?"

 

"It's a 'djbellah' because, in the desert, it is very hot and it protects your body !!"

 

"And what are these ugly shoes that we have on our feet ?"

 

"These are 'babouches', which keep us from burning our feet when in the desert !!"

 

"Tell me, Papa..."

 

"Yes, my son ?"

 

"We live in Melbourne ! why are we wearing all this shit ?"

 

 

Growing old beats the alternative -- dying young.
