(N.B. Some have been translated from Arabic.)
1. Two Girls, One Guy, and Madonna<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Girl A:<\/b> Everyone here looks like they\u2019re from the 90\u2019s. Guy: <\/b>I love the 90\u2019s, Madonna w heik. Girl A: <\/b>What\u2019s that movie with her in it about Argentina? Girl B: <\/b>Evita? Girl A:<\/b> No\u2026
2. Awkward Couple on a Date<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Girl: <\/b>Is your dad dead? Guy: <\/b>No, why? Girl:<\/b> I don\u2019t know, just asking. *two minutes of painful silence* Girl:<\/b> My dad is alive too.
3. A Couple Dueling over iPhone\/Samsung<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Guy: <\/b>If Samsung isn\u2019t good anymore we can buy HTC phones, Ramzi has one and it has the best screen. Girl: <\/b>No way I\u2019ll ever hold an HTC. Guy: <\/b>Shu bikkeh? (Arabic for, \u201cwhat\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d) Girl: <\/b>LG, HTC, no way. We can get iPhones but let\u2019s wait until the new one comes out. Guy: <\/b>When is it coming out? Girl: <\/b>How would I know I don\u2019t work in computers!
4. Douchebag and the Bartender<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Douchebag: <\/b>Man do you have something like a cocktail but with absinthe in it? Bartender: <\/b>Sure, I can make you something with gin, absinthe, and orange juice. Douchebag: <\/b>Leik bro can I have a red label and ice?
5. Two Political Geniuses Hash it Out<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Political Genius A: <\/b>Man, are you seeing what\u2019s happening in Egypt and Yemen? Political Genius B: <\/b>What? The elections or something? They\u2019re like pissed now? Political Genius A:<\/b> I\u2019m not sure exactly what\u2019s happening but it\u2019s f*cked.
6. The Sushi Connoisseurs Who Belong Together<\/b><\/big><\/big>
Female connoisseur:<\/b> I love sushi but not the raw fish ones. Male connoisseur: <\/b>*too enthusiastically* Exactly! Me too, don\u2019t know how they eat the slimy fish! Female connoisseur: <\/b>I just like the crab ones or the cucumber and avocado, I used to make them at home. Male connoisseur: <\/b>Me too, and the Philadelphia cheese ones are good. Plus raw fish is very bad for you, it can give you infections and viruses. Female connoisseur: I know, it\u2019s so bad. Male connoisseur: <\/b>When is your birthday?
