The list starts below:

1. Islam is the country's official religion.
.
.
.
98. People here don't care about the spelling of their English Words. If they don't care, why would I care also hehe. Kaliwali!

99. Pork is strictly forbidden here that's why no one is selling it either.

And the last thing you should know about Saudi Arabia is, Don't you ever talk about their religion in an argumentative manner, if you value your life, do not criticize their traditions and their practices and never ever mock their prophet (pbuh) and Allan for surely you will be in 100% jeopardy!

johnslat: Could that possibly mean
1. pot-dependent?
2. a filled potty (oh, pardon the scato!)?
3. Top-filled (politically)?

Where was that John?

I liked #78

Baldness is common here because water is very hot during the summer and extreme cold during the winter.

Apparently the writer has zero knowledge of what causes baldness. Smile Why aren't the women commonly bald too? Don't they use the same water? Laughing Laughing

Dear VS,

Fourth line in the intro. I do believe the article "a" was omitted - and a comma after "pot."

Regards,
John
