One of those

A homsi visited Beirut and booked a room in the hotel. The hotel employee carried the bags and asked to take him to the room. Once the door is opened, the homsi stopped, shook his head and said to the employee: "Listen its true that I'm a stranger to this country but this doesn't mean that you fool me and laugh at me, I've paid over $100 for renting a nice room. This room is too small, has no window, no bathroom and it also contains no bed...!
The hotel employee politely said: "I'm sorry sir. This is not your room, This is the elevator..."

Shakira for President!

ZadigVoltaire of the Beirut Notes blog came up with an ingenious solution to the political statement facing the Lebanese government.

The Lebanese-Colombian singer Shakira has an IQ of 140, according to the New York “Village Voice”, making her, along with Madonna, the smartest woman in show business today.

Sexy, Brainy, talented and rich! Forget Aoun, (Nassib) Lahoud or Harb, we want President Shakira!

President Shakira will solve many issues:

* Every diplomat will surely visit her and spend more time with her than with the Speaker of the Parliament or the Prime Minister.

* Gulf Arabs will invest all their money in Lebanon just for a dance from the President.

* Bashar al-Assad will finally open up a Syrian Embassy in Lebanon, and make himself the ambassador.

* Hezbollah will drop their weapons after President Shakira threatens to visit Sayed Hassan Nasrallah at his headquarters in her stage clothes.

* The LBC weather person will stop greeting the viewers with "bonsoir", instead he would start by saying: "Que Passa, Hombres?"

Viva Shakira!
