A navy mate of mine was in Egypt about 50 years ago. In the red-light area, he noticed this bloke ringing a bell, and calling out: “Come and see the Donkey Show.”
So being young naive, he tagged along and went in, thinking it must be some “animal act”.
IT MOST CERTAINLY WAS. :blush:

What would you expect to find at Ass-wan Egypt? Of course, arrival and departure holes.

You will be billed on a pro rata basis, according to how much of the hole you use.
If you exceed its capacity, you will be fine.

@Marum-Egypt actually tries their damnedest to make American tourists as welcome as possible. Because we tend to spend the most. Mubarak? Morsi? Military government? No matter.
The “Diesel Fuel” example wasn’t true Arablish, as it was the result of a misunderstanding not mistranslation. But it got quite a few laughs out fo me.

If you turn your screen 90 degrees, so you can see down the side – you will see it’s a gate.
Tey tell me most of Egypt fits that description
Hole Sweet Hole
How about if ,you arrive via the back-door.
After dining you’ll need to use the exit hole.

Please check in at the tourist orifice.
Is the departure hole nearby
So what’s in the arrivals hole
Nice of you to drop in.
Next we’re taking the Sphinx tour.
This is not Egypt, it is Sparta!
Must be one of those holefood restaurants.
I wonder, do they have an Internet hole?
@Yu No Hoo 0422. Did you mean the Sphincter Tour?
