MY MAN!! Glad you enjoyed it!! How about coming up with "50 reasons you know your a Bahraini when..."
Here's the first one
1)You can spot a Saudi driving a car without seeing the license plate!
51) "Khakis" are the things you use to start your automobile
Chan'ad that is BRILLIANT!!!!!
Not anymore!! You can now buy beer on SUNDAYS!! Both kinds of beer!
As Mr.Anon above has said we MassHoles are no longer required to flee up Rt 95 or 93 to Cow Hampshire for some malted Adult Amber Colored beverages anymore. We can drive just as (un)sober down the street now and snag a 12 pak as needed during Halftime. Yep lots of progress in Taxachusetts.
