Bordem in Afganistan?

[Hopalong]

Our troops in Afghanistan prove they've retained their sense of humor
with
the following "YOU MAY BE A TALIBAN IF..."
1.  You refine heroin for a living, but you have a moral objection to
beer.

2.  You own a $3,000 machine gun and $5,000 rocket launcher, but you
can't
afford shoes.

3.  You have more wives than teeth.

4.  You wipe your butt with your bare left hand, but consider bacon
"unclean."

5.  You think vests come in two styles: bullet-proof and suicide.

6.  You can't think of anyone you HAVEN'T declared Jihad against.

7.  You consider television dangerous, but routinely carry explosives in

your clothing.

8.  You were amazed to discover that cell phones have uses other than
setting off roadside bombs.

9.  You've often uttered the phrase, "I love what you've done with your
cave."

10.  You have nothing against women and think every man should own at
least
one.

11.  You bathe at least monthly whether necessary or not.

12.  You have a crush on your neighbor's goat.

I'll have to pass that one along!

On a related topic, I picked up some dari (One of the major languages) when I was there. Probably with a horrible accent, but I could make myself understood to a certain degree. As usual, it was the dirty words that was first learnt. Most of my teachers were constructionworkers, so what else was to be expected? 

Of course, some misunderstandings about the meaning of some words occurs when the afghans told me what the words mean when translated to english.
In 2005, I was on a short visit to Meymaneh in the north-west. On a walk in the city, a young boy on a donkey drawn cart took a liking to us foreign weirdos, and as usual with the people there, enjoyed having his picture taken. So this grinning boy followed us around on his empty cart and I was doing my best to chat with him. Wanting to be friendly, hearts and minds, and all that...  ...I wanted to compliment him with his good donkey. Had to say something nice, but basic.
Found this out a little later:
What I actually said to him was that I thought his donkey was very attractive...
