Recognize them?<br \/>  <br \/>  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/media1.tenor.com\/images\/2aa499818bc7799063ddb655b5147d45\/tenor.gif\"width=\"80%\"><br \/>  <br \/>  Well, the local version is even better. <br \/>  <br \/>  The men are seen marching in a crowd, holding a coffin above their heads with the Lebanese Lira stamped on it. But it only gets better when the music plays, the beat drops, and they start dancing.<br \/>  <br \/>  It&#8217;s good to see that some people still have it in them to try and put a smile on others&#8217; faces, even if it is to mock a truly disturbing reality &#8211; the devaluation of our lira. <br \/>  <br \/>  You can watch the video below:<br \/>  <br \/>    <blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\"><p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Lebanese people are something else.
