I was not understanding the humour either on this one.

Well, I'm afraid I don't understand Arabic so I couldn't understand the joke behind that one...

Apparently the writing on the bag translates to "this writing serves simply to annoy people who dislike Arabs".

Will everyone please click the underlined "Arabic" in Oberons post, it's a link to an explanation.

OK, maybe there's a second language barrier here.
I meant I could not initially understand it until he posted the link. I don't speak Arabic so the picture alone with no explanation wasn't funny to me.
That was meant as a hint that the explanation should have come with the picture in the first place to make it funny.

Well, at least I guess I terminated the fun again...

I am with you on this. If someone is going to post something like that, they should include either a link in the original post or some explanation.

Otherwise it is just an out of focus picture.

Honestly I didn't actually expect anyone to react to it anyway, and I expected that if I posted the full explanation I would probably just be told that it's Arabic therefore not funny or something like that.
