Oath to Wean off Qat [Archives:2000/39/Culture]

IT seems that the various campaigns aimed at curbing the perilous and deadly habit of chewing Qat are yielding good results. A live example on this supposition is a rather seemingly funny letter the Yemen Times has received a few days ago. The letter was sent by two young Yemeni people who have concluded an agreement, pledging to restrict chewing Qat to a certain day of the week as a beginning to quitting the habit for good.
These two gentlemen are working in Nabors RIG#1. They are Ali al-Khawlani and Ahmed Hussein. They took oaths not to chew qat more than once a week. The oath also stated that oath breaker has to pay two thousands riyals including SHAVING HIS MUSTACHE CLEAN. The agreement is bending for one year. In order to enhance the application of this agreement, some other two gentlemen have signed their names as witnesses to the agreement. Mr. Andy Diez Jr. Rig Manager Nabors Drilling Rig#1 and Abdulkhalig Aljabry, senior warehouseman Nabirs Drilling Rig#1 sent a letter to the Yemen Times informing us of the agreement and requesting publication so as to encourage the two guys.
Yemen Times does support such attempts hoping that they will yield the results desired. So as to support carrying out the agreement conditions, we do publish the following caricatures so as to remind the two gentlemen of the penalty in case of breaking up the agreement and the pledge they have taken upon themselves. All the very best.

what’s behind you? vegtabels?

God! how will look like without my moosh?

caught you red handed!

now you have to face the music!
