 | | A lovely thing happened down at 'The Garage' slate club (one of the less reputable drinking establishments in Casablanca)the other night.
Mohammed-the-Bar dutifully locked up the premises at 10:30 pm, omitting to notice that Ahmed-the-Alkie had drunk himself into a stupor and was fast asleep under a table in the far corner of the bar.
When Mohammed arrived to open up at 8:30 in the morning he was a little surprised to find that the lights were on and even more surprised to find Ahmed completely comatose, lying ON the bar having drunk the contents of nearly all the bottles of spirits.
To give Mohammed-the-Bar his due, he did call an ambulance and Ahmed-the-Alkie was 'stomach-pumped' and lives to argue the toss as to whether he is legally liable for what he drank.

 | | Actually the pubs here are interesting. Technically the locals (Muslims) are not allowed in them (or to buy alcohol in any of the offies). The result is that there is very little trouble as, if there is, the pub is closed immediately.
However, there is something even stranger. Half of the pubs have small booths where one can place bets on the gee-gees (in France) and a very good business they do too. During Ramadan (and other religious holidays) all the pubs and offies close EXCEPT the ones which are also betting shops, which remain open, although they stop selling booze.
According to the Holy Koran, betting is more 'haram' (forbidden) than drinking alcohol!
