This is a post with three links related to Lebanon. What they all have in common? They’re funny, but some of them can make you cry.

The Danish situation – From The Onion

• There’s a place in the UK named Worcester. The roads in its westlands estate have become so awful that the locals have begun signing a petition: “Fix potholes on estate that looks like Beirut”. Here’s one of the locals explaining the problem:

He said: “About six months ago, they patched up an area just up the road, but that is all they do. To keep doing small repairs all the time must cost an astronomical amount. The place looks like Beirut!”

The man must have visited our beloved capital during an election season.

• Speaking of election seasons, the U.S. Republican party is looking forward to the Michigan Primary. But Michigan is known as a treacherous place for Republicans. It’s a place driven by factions, ancient hatred and fluid alliances. This is why Michigan is officially known as, wait for it: “The Beirut of the Republican Party”. Don’t believe it? Check for yourself.

• Now for a bonus funny post, but I have to warn you: You can’t read this in an office, unless your boss really appreciates sudden bursts of uncontrolled laughter. This is from The Onion: Syria Attends Mideast Peace Talks For Free Continental Breakfast. If you only have time for one link to read, this should be it!

Tell me what you think..
