Rich man, poor man

I just LOVE those ‘simplistic’ cartoons that make their way into our daily press. On the left we have a university professor. The poor guy! On the right we a real estate trader. Rich man. Very imaginative and creative? Are the two brothers?

But there is one thing that, according to this cartoon, cuts across the differences in wealth: the Jordanian Big Belly (JBB) or Karsh in Arabic.

Although Mr Real Estate is fatter than Mr University Prof, we can safely say that Jordanians from all social classes are well fed.

Other similarities: Baldness (aka Sal3a), Mustache (aka Shawareb) and the Frown (aka Kashra, which is not to be mixed up with above-mentioned Karsh)

Isn’t just amazing how much we can learn from such cartoons.

    Is a 200 dinar income enough to make a Jordanian family of three ‘well-fed’?

    One more similarity; they both conform to the “Dapper Hamdan” dress code; a suit and a tie (The Jordanian standard of being well-dressed).
