Egyptian Innovation: First Camels and Then ... Bread Helmets!

There must be wide spread shortages of tin foil.

Improvise, adapt and overcome. It’s worked for the USMC for 235 years and counting.

Plus at lunch time, the dude is all set plus he doesn’t even have to slow down. “Mubarak you must go!”, munch on some helmet, chant, chant, munch, munch…repeat…

First camels, now bread helmets. Can you imagine the damage they could have done if buying guns was legal in their country?

I put this photo on my site yesterday and accoding to WSJPhotos, you are incorrect: This was not taken in Egypt but rather Yemen.

Even alowing for Webutante's correction, people in Tahir square were making themselves improvised helmets from plastic bottles and baskets and stuff. The man in the picture was inspired by his Egyptian brethren.

Yeah, Webu, always come right in an step on the joke.

I called it "Mislocated but accurate."

Yemen Breadhead?
He played electric slide bouzouki in a World Music band I was in.

My bad, Mr. Vanderlize...what a boob I am to let 'facts' get in the way of such a good story about three misplaced loaves of bread.

We all know they should have been in Egypt, but what's baked in Yemen needs to stay in Yemen....

Please forgive my taking such impolitic and impolite liberties on your site.

It's his new invention: liced bread.

Cher Webu,

The quality of mercy is not drained'd,
It swelleth as the gentle pain in arse
Upon the chair beneath: it is twice pained;
It paineth him that gives and him that aches.

Go froth, my child, and sin no more.

In a way, Mr. Vanderleun, it doesn't really matter if the muffin man was in Egypt or Yemen. It's all a cauldron there, right now. A fine kettle in which to dunk the bread, so to speak.

Forgiveness,
Holy undertaking.
70 times 70 for sinners such as me-- the worst offender among the glock...er flock.

Indeed, I do strive for the prize, m'lord.

Confessing however, I occasionally stumble and fall, becoming that pain en t' arse.

It's against my will,
Alway

Yet when I do...only know...

It's my job!

World without end.

I'm going to steal that idea and sell it to kids who want a more fun way to carry their lunch to school.

I'll call them "Headibles".
