The Gazan’s Guide To Argeeleh

By Fayyad

Since many Gazans are suffering the lack of Argeeleh/Shisha/Hooka under the siege imposed on them by Israel with Egyptian help, a few creative Gazan minds have pioneered a solution for a make-shift smoke machine, the latest in the series of innovation that included converting cars to run of falafel frying oil, making mud bricks for building, and transporting goats with cranes over the border wall. (see Hanitizer’s report)

This is how you do it:

Start with your teapot. Tea, along with pasta, has been deemed by Israel as non-essential goods any way, and your stainless steel post would likely corrode before you see tea leaves again.

Who are you kidding, there is barely enough water to drink, so showers are on hold for the time being, let’s use this hose that will not be supplying water to your shower head any time soon.

Oh yes, the stove head. For obvious reasons, you won’t be using it any time soon. Oh, you wanna hear the kicker, all the gas being extracted off shore from you, is being sold to Egypt… not that Egypt needs it, but by some roundabout way, Israel does not want to buy it, so it buys gas from Egypt at below production cost, and Egypt is forced to buy Palestinuan gas because Israel would not let the gas be sold to a country that may act independently and sign contracts with the Palestinians outside its accord.

Anyway, get the stove head, pick a middle size one, you’ll have company, but  you won’t have enough tobacco for the big one.

Finally, this is the strainer from your bathtub, we’ve been through this already, right?
