Greg 'groggy' Lehey scripsit:
He arrived at the Causeway in Johore Bahru with his
nice red turban
on. And the immigration official was a Sikh! With a blue turban. He
said "what are you doing with a red turban? Today's a blue turban
day!".
(Just for the record, the remark itself was the trap: there are no
turban colors associated with particular days. Blue is associated
with learning, red with celebrations such as weddings.)

Newbies always ask:
"Elements or attributes?
Which will serve me best?"
Those who know roar like lions;
Wise hackers smile like tigers. --a tanka, or extended haiku
