In the Arab world there is one town in Egypt
where all the people are supposed to be stupid.
The name of the town is Said (pronounced Sa-eed) and
there are many jokes about them. There are even whole plays
built around them. MM
(Here's one of the jokes:
One day this man from Said went to Cairo for the first
time in his life. When he got there he was very amazed
at the traffic lights and since he had never seen one
before and didn't know what they were for, he asked
someone. The man knew he was from Said and so he
told him that when the light is green then only the
people from Cairo can go. When the light is orange,
only the foreigners can drive and when the
light is red then this is when the Saidians may
drive. The Saidian, of course, believed him because when
the light was green a lot of cars drove through and he figured
it was because he was in Cairo that there were so many going.
Then when the light turned orange a few cars tried to make
through and he figured these were the few foreigners in town.
So when the light turned red he went and a cop pulled him
over. When he saw the cop he waved and said, "It's alright,
I'm from Said!")

There was a bunch of Saidians in a car on their way to
Cairo.
One man says to the driver, "Hey, slow down. You're
going 60 miles an hour."
The driver says, "Do you know how to drive?"
"No."
"Then shut up."
A minute later, another man says, "You had better slow down,
you're going 70 miles an hour!"
The driver says, "Do you know how to drive?"
"No."
"Then shut up."
A second later, another man says, "Slow down! You're going
80 miles an hour!"
The driver says, "Do you know how to drive?"
"Yes."
"Then tell me where the brake is."
