Who makes Gitmo's toilets?
There is no way I'd be able to flush a book of any sort down mine. Mr. Crapper would be proud.

9. We were looking at this house to rent yesterday
It was built in 1790 and had an outhouse. It had indoor plumbing too.

2. must be the same people who make airplane toilets
I've never tried to flush a book before, but airplane toilets seem to have a lot of force...I'm actually a little afraid of them. :scared:

8. How much do you reckon they charged?
I'm guessing half a million per khazi.

6. I don't think the book literally went down the tube...
unless it was a really tiny book on onionskin paper. Which it could have been. I cannot see us giving them any book that was large enough to use as a weapon or conceal anything in.

A toilet is nearly the ultimate unclean thing to an arab, and just putting the Koran IN on would be enough to cause this sort of reaction.

15. Well, to them more than us!
The uncleanliness of shit is why Arabs will never eat with their left hand; The traditional wiping hand. It really bugs them totally.
