I overheard a class of English students putting on a skit. They were sitting around a table and the 'father' started the meal by trying to imitate the act of giving thanks. He said:
Oh my God,
Everything is okay.
Let us eat beef.
Okay.

This made me smile. Amen, uh, okay to that!
Wow! Do they think all of us eat lots of beef? We do eat chicken and turkey... ;-)
Actually, I'm surprised they're not eating pork!
Eating Pork!!! I don't think most Uyghurs could even say that word. they are so superstitious about it being an unclean meat that they refuse to refer to it by name.
