This is a pisser...
Here is my favourite part:
Giving a gift with your left hand...
What you think you are saying:
"Thank you very much for letting me marry your daughter. She is very beautiful. In gratitude, please accept this dainty, yet tuneful instrument. Did I mention that I'm left-handed?"
What you are actually saying:
"Thank you very much for letting me marry your daughter. She is the most worthless heap of dog vomit I have ever encountered, and I dearly wish that she would die. In gratitude, please accept a generous portion of my own effluence. Did I mention that I hate you?"

Yeah, if you put the glass upside down on the bar, it means you want to fight someone.
If you put it down sideways on the bar, it means you want to fight the whole bar!

loved this comment:
"The left hand thing is definitely true in Morocco. At a traditional meal you eat with your hands. Or your right hand more specifically. Reaching in with your left hand is like saying "MMM...dysentary! Let me reach my beshitted paw into your delicious food!""
I laughed my farkin arse off!!
