It's been quite some time since we referred to Egypt as the Near East or China and India as the Far East. So what's this bit with the Middle East? Why not just call it 'that place with all the bombs going off'?

That is all.

[ROFL] And if anyone gets upset at me for that, well ok. I think it's funny because it's true.

Or - 'pwabgo' (just cause it's easier to say for short?) ? Sad but true... Hard to imagine walking out for a 'day on the town' with 1/2 your roads blown to pieces...

Rule of thumb, if your neighbors are firing hundreds of rockets into a neighboring country... get out before they return fire.

Actually I think the rule of thumb over there is that you can use a pipe bomb so long as it isn't any wider than the width of your thumb.

"Maybe it should've been the rule of wrist!"
