‘Your Mama’ Fight Erupts at School
Arab News

JUBAIL, 27 November 2006 — Most people who went to primary public school in the United States, especially in the inner cities, know about the phenomenon of “Your Mama” jokes. The premise of these jokes is to insult another kid’s mother in a creative manner. These off-color jokes often regress into a competition between two kids trying to be as creative and insulting as possible. (For example, “Your momma is so fat she uses a laptop for a cell phone” might be returned with “Your momma is so dumb she sold her car for gas money.”) Often these schoolyard taunts would predictably degrade into fights. Recently, a similar incident happened in an elementary school in Jubail, the daily Al-Watan reported yesterday. A fight broke out between two kids after one of them mentioned the name of the other kid’s mother. The teacher told the newspaper he was disappointed that the child reacted violently to the mention of his mother’s name. Apparently, it didn’t even take an actual insult to his mother to set this kid off. The name was enough.

Apparently the Saudi's don't have the sense of humor, tolerance or cultural diversity as they west. So why bother using their humor in this society. After all humor is forbidden in Islam. Hide away before the chop-chop crowds runs for your neck...

Money or Divorce? Wife Picks Divorce
MAKKAH, 27 November 2006 — Money may make the world go ‘round, but it’s also plays a key role in making or breaking marriages. The daily Al-Madinah recently reported that a man who lost a fortune in the stock market demanded that his wife give him money she had socked away so he could continue his losing streak on the bourse. He also demanded that she sell off all of her jewelry for more cash. When she refused, he laid down an ultimatum: Give him the money or divorce was imminent. Fine, the woman said: It’s divorce then, and she was gone. This serves as a valuable primer for married men everywhere. When you’re broke because you made dumb decisions and sank money into short-term speculation on the stock market (many consider such stock prospecting as the moral equivalent of gambling), the last thing you need to be doing is laying down blackmail and ultimatums against your wife. Honey, she can always find another broke, dumb guy; there are plenty of those fish in sea.

I dont think that the vision of marriage is based on love in an "islamic society" . Marriges have been traditionally business transactions with high dowries (tax) and civilized slavery.

Man Uses Mosque to Rant About Dealership
RIYADH, 27 November 2006 — So there was this guy who was standing next to a vehicle in front of a car dealership in Riyadh. And he must have been dressed like a man of stature because locals at a nearby mosque were arriving for prayer and mistook him as being affiliated with the mosque. They asked him to lead the prayer. The man obliged the people and went in to lead the prayer. Afterward, the man began preaching to the people in the mosque that they should not buy a car from the dealership next door. The people in the mosque were a bit perplexed by this impromptu and strange sermon. According to a report in yesterday’s Al-Madinah daily, a worker in the mosque finally told the people the man was mentally ill and had a bone to pick with the car dealership next door because they have repeatedly refused to sell him a car on a payment plan. The prayer, however, still counts.

No much on that one..just make sure you took the fatwa from local sheikh permitting use of God's house as a sale spot.
