It is most astounding that his posterior speaks near perfect French without any formal training, yet he cannot understand a word of what his backdoor voice is saying."
His state employment record shows that "the students in the classroom were frightened by his unconventional teaching style" and were "unwilling to engage his backside in conversation."

OUTRAGE! SAUDI TOY MAKER SELLING COLLAPSIBLE TWIN TOWER TOYS
CYNTHIA MORGAN
A SAUDI novelty company is selling collapsible models of New York's Twin Towers so that "children of all ages" can "play terrorist" and "have hours of fun punishing the Great Satan."
The outrageous item is selling in toy, hobby, rug and bridal shops, pharmacies, open air markets, bars, belly-dancing schools, hardware stores and even new car dealerships in Saudi Arabia and throughout the Middle East.
At $29.95 a pop, Twin Tower Mania isn't the cheapest item on the shelf.
But that's not keeping children and adults from snapping them up as quickly as stock boys can fetch fresh supplies from the warehouse.
And pricey accessory items just add to the cost. Miniature airliners to "hijack" and then fly into the Towers -- which are spring-loaded and fly apart on impact -- cost anywhere from $5 to $10 each depending on whether you want the durable metal version or garden- variety plastic.
"This is outrageous -- I'm flabbergasted," fumes Velma Creigt, a U.S. citizen working in Saudi Arabia's capital city of Riyadh.
"How dare these people try to capitalize on the death and suffering of the innocent Americans who perished on 9/11?"
The answer to that question, says a spokesman for Death to the Infidels Toys -- the company that makes Twin Tower Mania -- is simple.
"If the Americans have taught us anything over the years," he explains, "it's how to make money off a tragedy."
