[QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lady Ferret: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by ExptinCAI: [qb] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Lady Ferret: [qb] The day I am questioned by an Egyptian about my wedding ring I will let you guys know. From experience nobody actually gives a ****. [/qb][/QUOTE]Oh? Because I typically get asked 1. Are you married 2. If I answer yes, i get asked what my husbands nationality is. (go to question 3A) If I answer no, I get asked "why not." (go to question 3B.) 3A. Do you have children? (If I answer yes, how many how old are they, etc.) If I answer no, "why not" 3B. Do you have a boyfriend? (nationality question if the answer is yes, then "he's a very lucky man) if the answer is no "why not? pause, pause. do you want one?" At this point I typically bark "Can I please just pay for these groceries?" [/qb][/QUOTE]Very good, it made me smile as it seems to be a standard formula. At what point though when answering yes to Q1 do they ask if you have an Urfi? ... I would bet never. I have often found in Cairo that those insulting others class are actually low class themselves! I never here the wealthy and educated folk resorting to such depths. There are thousands of unmarried couples in Egypt as well living together, just becasue you don't like this fact it doesn't make it false. I do know cases where folk feel 'obliged' to marry so they can live together. What a great basis for a lifetime commitment. It just so happens not everyone has a high horse and many accept co-habitation. [/qb][/QUOTE]LOL, I didn't know what orfi was until I came to ES. When I tried to ask about it in real life, it was always met with a stern look, an uncomfortable silence, then then a piercing questioning of ... where did you hear this, who told you about this. Thousands of unmarried in Egypt? You have a registry or where did you come up with this number? And also, just because I don't like it? Where did I say that? And why would I care? I'm not Egyptian.
