h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"Before the war, we used to tell jokes about each other, and laugh. We say, for example:
A man went to a dentist and said: Doctor, my tooth is decayed, ((the word ' My tooth' is written and pronounced = Sennie= Sunnie)), and the doctor says: And is their a Sunnie who isn't decayed? Ha,ha,ha, we used to laugh…
And in a joke about the Day of Judgment: In a graveyard, a Sunnie and a Shia'at lay side by side, and on the Judgment Day, the Sunnie arose, but the Shia'at said: No, not today, the Judgment Day is tomorrow for us. Ha,ha,ha. Because it is their custom to differ from the Feast days and Ramadan, and delay beginning them till the next day…
And we used to say: An Arab and a Kurd were sentenced to death, and the guard came to ask them for a last request, the Kurd said: I want to see my mother. And the Arab said: I do not want the Kurd to see his mother.
Ha,ha,ha, we used to laugh; the Arab in the joke is mean, and the Kurd is wronged. And I used to accept that joke, tell it, we used to laugh about it, and we are Arabs…
We all used to laugh; Sunnies and Shia'ats, Arabs and Kurds, we used to laugh and accept one another; I am a Shia'at, my husband is a Sunnie. We raised our children to love all the people, respect all the people, do not discriminate between people, and hold no grudge against anyone…
Our neighbors were Arabs and Kurds, Muslims and Christians; we love and respect them, and they love and respect us…this is how we used to live…"
