You Know You Are Middle Eastern When...
This is in pure fun to all those who might be offended....this is meant to be a joke...while it contains a lot of true sayings...b/c I can relate to some
_
_
_At weddings, it takes the bride and groom 4 hours to kiss all the guests
You pity anyone who is not_like u_and think all other cultures are "morally corrupt"
You brag about your kids even if they are bad
Your Wife/Husband is also your first cousin
You gossip about your own family...with other members of your family.
One satellite dish on your roof isn't enough...you need at least two of them.
You wear more cologne than deodorant.
You say the letter "H" like "etch"
You put olive oil on EVERYTHING and brag about how healthy it is.
3 or more relatives live in your neighborhood
Your favorite food is grape leaves (mahshee), but you are embarrassed to tell your friends that you eat leaves for dinner.
You cook a meal that lasts three days
You inherited or will inherit land in your country.
You watch the hell out of the Arabic channel and talk crap about the rest.
Your aunt always asks you when she can dance at your wedding.
Your Father swears at you with words that effect himself
You own a gas station, dollar store, or a fruit market.
You say "Get down from the car" instead of "get out of the car"
You always act like you WANT to pay, but in reality you hate it.
You own a gold necklace with your name written in_your language_
Your middle name is your fathers first name.__(applies to the men)_
You can't have a meal without Pita bread
If your a woman, you dye your hair an obviously fake shade of blond that is non-existent in nature but swear that it's natural
You feel proud when someone famous or a celebrity has ANY_middle-eastern blood in them._
You teach your American friends words in your language_(mostly bad ones) and feel proud when they use them in conversations_ (Kous kesh ring a bell?)_.
Your Mom has a creative nickname for you like "Susu" "Natoosheh"_ or "Tuntooneh"
You a have a difficult name so you come up with an Canadian version like "Sam"_ "Mike" or "Joe"__(danny)_
You have someone tell you your fortune through your coffee cup
You say_ "Bolice" for "Police"
You__(will) _have more than 4 kids
You get really excited and call your whole family to the room when there is a special or a documentary on_the Middle East_on CNN or PBS
You have a uni-bro...and if you don't, you_ pluck it
You wont eat anything that is not Halal, but your "love life" has nothing to do with your religion.__(Danny)_
You smoke as it was your last day on earth, and you ONLY smoke Marlboros
Members of your family start to come over your house at 11:00PM and don't leave until 3:00am_
It's perfectly OK to put chairs and tables in the street by the curb to socialize._
You are awaken at night by a member of your family yelling over the phone to overseas._
Your convinced that your mom would win a "slipper throwing contest"_ because of her accuracy
As a kid you have been beaten with a branch of a tree
You say "close the light" instead of " turn of the light"

some are pure B.S but whatever I wont waste my time.
but as for this one "Your favorite food is grape leaves (mahshee), but you are embarrassed to tell your friends that you eat leaves for dinner. "
Any arab can relate to that but the difference is our friends actually like it and we're never embarassed of anything that relates to our culture..
errrrrr i'm geting defensive.. i know its suppose to be a joke .. ignore me.
