I really want to learn to write in Arabic now, so that I can leave little Arabic notes translating to "A dozen eggs, a loaf of bread, paper towels and dish soap" all over the place and freak people out.

Reminds me of the story a couple of years ago about a lady (in Monmouthshire, SE Wales, IIRC) whose house was trashed by angry locals, who thought "paediatrician" meant the same as "paedophile".

That writing was in Farsi not Arabic, and was a prayer for a safe journey (i heard)..... written in EXPLODING INK.
