Arab sense of humor

A British man came to Sheikh and asked: Why is it not permissible in Islam for women to shake hands with a man?*

The Sheikh said: Can you shake hands with Queen Elizabeth?

British man said: Of course not, there are only certain people who can shake hands with Queen Elizabeth.

Sheikh replied: our women are queens and queens do not shake hands with strange men.

For years I have received forwarded mails from people I know and even more from people I do not know. This blog is a placeholder of all those posts that either brought a smile to my face or made me think. Some stories which I used in my conversations, some jokes that added humor to my presentations, some interesting quotes, some anecdotes and the facts that may not make any sense but still make an interesting read. This is an attempt to treasure them at once place and also share it with the people who have probably got on to the internet bandwagon a little later.
