"Top blog/Renato Obeid's World/Today's pick: This rambling weblog is worth reading not so much for its satirical posts but more for its insight into the minutiae of life in Lebanon, including the etiquette of road accidents and how to hire a taxi.”

Just got my back from my walk to Jounieh. The taxi driver on the way back was telling me about another taxi driver who was preventing him from working in what the later considered his exclusive domain. So this victim went to the bully’s feudal patron to complain. ‘’If somebody owed me money and I asked you to split his head in two for me would you do it for even five thousand dollars?’’ the sheik asked him rhetorically. ‘’Well, this guy would do it for a thousand dollars, he’d even beat up his own brother if I asked him to – that’s why he’s indispensable to me’’. Case dismissed.
