48. Ah, the "sort of lapsed" Muslim....
Those who think all Muslims are fanatics ought to meet a few. (Not that most observant Muslims are fanatics.)

I had a Pakistani co-worker who recommended several Indian restaurants because the Northern Indian food usually served there was much like Pakistani food. He said there was an authentic Pakistani restaurant in town, but they didn't serve alcohol. (He was known to drink the occasional beer.)

Then we joked that if he returned to Pakistan, he could take a few more wives. He blanched--his beautiful, intelligent, spirited wife was all he could handle.
