"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.”

Applying a Band-Aid to a microscopic scrape on my hand I got to wondering whether black people wear black Band-Aids. I’m not being racist (some of my best friends are Band-Aids) but the Band-Aids that white people wear are the colour of their skin so it stands to reason that black people should wear black Band-Aids that match the colour of their skin. White Band-aids on a black person must stick out like a…sore thumb. I’ll google it and if I find that they don’t exist, I’m going to make my first million manufacturing black Band-Aids. I’m not joking (it’s not like Ali G’s ice cream glove), this will be two-in-one – healing the wounds of the body while, at the same time, healing the wounds of the soul.
