A huge appetite for comedy is an ingredient of the [Egyptian] national character. Whatever happens to be going on - be it war, law reform, or riots - is voraciously seized upon and transmuted overnight into a hundred underground jokes sweeping through the valley and adding to a complex structure in which jokes cross-refer to other jokes, to proverbs and to catch-phrases from famous televised plays.
Og egypternes utpregede humoristiske sans gjør det trivelig å være turist i Egypt også.
