Let me tell you a Moroccan joke I heard when I was in Marrakech .
A French teacher told her student : what is your name?
-The student said : my name is Miloud (Arabic male name)
-Teacher said :from now on your name will be Philip.
The kid went home thinking he became Philip.
-His parents call on him. Hey Miloud bring me this. ... . Miloud doesn't answer.
-Miloud do that. .... still don't answer .so his father got really angry and gave his boy a black eye .
Day after that Miloud went back to school.
-Teacher asked him: Philip what is wrong with your eye?

if I told you this exact same joke In Moroccan and you understood it in its original context ,that would have left you with an extraordinary
feeling no one can experience but you . This is what passed my mind when I heard this joke from an old man in Marrakech old city.
Everyone was laughing then at the joke except a couple of tourists who didn't understand what was going on .I felt sorry for them so I
