2 Egyptian jokes.
1.
An Egyptian scratched Aladdin's lamp and a genie emerged, offering him a wish.
"I wish for a bridge to the United States," the Egyptian said.
"Hmm," the genie said. "That's much too difficult. Can you wish for something else?"
"Okay," the Egyptian said. "Then I wish for Hosni Mubarak to be out of power."
"Hmm," the genie said. "Would you like the bridge to be one lane, or two?"

2.
Mubarak is sitting with [presidential chief of staff] Zakaria Azmi and asks him, "Who is a better leader, me or Gamal Abdl-Nasser?"
"Well, you," Azmi says. "Nasser feared the Russians."
"Good," Mubarak says. "Then who is a better leader, me or Anwar Sadat?"
"Well, you," Azmi says. "Sadat feared the Americans."
"Good," Mubarak says. "Then who is a better leader, me or Omar ibn al-Khattab?"
"Well, you," Azmi says. "Omar feared God."
