i ' tell u all the story of my deleted joke!
i recieved this joke in a mail and posted it here , so some " polite" voulinteeres responded to me in very rude language by calling me disgrace to the Arabs , and disloyal! and finally they reported me!
and from the Irony that those voulinteers who claimed to be "proud Arabs" and gave me lectures in patriotism typed their answers in English cuz they don't know how to type Arabic and if they wanted to do, they will type it in English letters "franco Arab" as they don't know the location of the Arabic letters on their keyboard! what do i call that? what kind of hypocrites they tend to be?

"whats up doc,
you did not like some answers you got yesterday, to near the truth, "
welcome another one from the Nifaqstan land is giving me lectures in patriotism in fragile kindargarten English , but as usual he prefered it to Arabic , although i am an Arab as him and i can understand Arabic!
Prove to me that u deserve called an Arab by typing ur lecture in Arabic at least, and honouring ur language at least!
When we joke about the Upper Egyptians and the Menofians does that means that we hate and despise them ?
lol is there anyone else who wants to teach me lessons in "Arabic" patriotism in english or latin or even Japanese? ;)

here you go:
You know you are an Egyptian when....
(1) You call any older person you've never met before : uncle "Ammo" or "Khalu".
(2) Getting a visa to Europe or the States is like getting a baby,everybody tells you "mabrook"
(3) You always carry excess luggage when you travel and learn how to beg the personnel at the airport to allow the excess baggage you've got as soon as your father stops doing that for you.
(4) Your dream is holding a different passport.
(5) When you FLY BACK home you find 20 people waiting for you at the airport.
(6) Every time you fly back home you meet relatives you never knew existed, and they look nothing like your family.
(7) You look for universities as far away from home as possible.
(8) You always curse at Egyptians when you are back home, but when you live abroad you make many Egyptian friends, and say how wonderful are the ones back home.
(9) Your aunt is always asking when she can dance at your wedding.
(10) Everyone is a family friend.
(11) People are never happy with what you've achieved. If you graduated from school they'll tell you "3o2bal el Shehada el kebera", and when u get that "3o2bal el 3aroosa or 3areees", and when you get that "3o2bal ma nefra7 be awladkom", and when you get that "3o2bal ma tefra7 be shehadithum", etc...
(12) You only walk on the streets in groups of seven or more people and talk really loud in Arabic all together.
(13) You fight over who pays the dinner bill.
(14) You teach Westerners to swear words in your language.
(15) When you go on a date you start thinking of lousy places where nobody would go to, so you won't bump into family or friends.
(16) You end up in a lousy place and still bump into the relative with the biggest mouth.
(17) If you are 25 and not married yet, your parents make you feel that you are getting too old.
(18) Getting married becomes the only way you can escape your parents, unless you are part of the lower eighty percent of the population; then you live with them, even after marriage and go out with your wife on a date.
(19) You keep on saying Kol Sanna Wa Inta Tayeb left, right and center !
(20) You always say "Open the light" instead of "Turn on the light " or" get down from the car" instead of "get out of the car."
(21) You pronounce your p's as b's (bebsi and bolice) unless you were raised also speaking a western language, a rare breed in present Egypt.
(22) You ask your dad a simple question and he tells you a story of how he had to walk miles just to get to school.
(23) Your parents were ranked first in school.
(24) Your dad swears at you with words that backfire on himself (Ya Ebn el....).
