so here we’ll post the “you know you’re moroccan when…” jokes… i know you’ve all heard of them already, but i want us to create our own versions too… from our own experiences. a crappy example is: you know you’re moroccan when… in chat when you laugh, you write it as hhhhhhh or you know you’re moroccan when… you can communicate with more than half the world with all the languages you speak stuff like this 😃 yalla drop 'em here… and i’ll add some i find on the net too ---

you know you’re moroccan when… you’ve seen 3 people on a motorcycle and 7 people in a 5-seat car. you think if Masr is Umm Ddunya, Morocco Bbaha you believe in the rule that there are no lines anywhere. Push, shove, and try to get first, or the others will. ---

You know you’re moroccan when… You say bye 17 times on the phone. When your parents meet strangers and talk for a few minutes, you discover they know one of your uncles back home. You’re walking out of customs with your trolley at the airport and you see at least twenty-five members of your family who have come to pick you up. Your parents drink 6 cups of tea a day. You’ve had a shoe thrown at you by your mother. You have an endless supply of pistachios, dates, and pumpkinseeds. Your mother has enough gold to intimidate Cleopatra. ---
