        &lt;h4&gt;Billboard in Amman cautions against using your phone while driving&lt;/h4&gt;
        
    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;I can&amp;rsquo;t even read Arabic but I&amp;rsquo;m pretty sure that billboard is telling people to &lt;em&gt;put their fucking phones down while driving&lt;/em&gt;. It&amp;rsquo;s like an epidemic here. I&amp;rsquo;ve never seen people look less at the road while driving than here in Amman.&lt;/p&gt;

        &lt;h4&gt;Sheep carcass lazily discarded in neighborhood dumpster&lt;/h4&gt;
        
    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;As Muslims around the world are busy wishing each other a blessed &lt;a href=&#34;https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eid_al-Adha&#34;&gt;Eid al-Adha&lt;/a&gt;, some poor bastard has to clean up this lazily discarded sheep carcass from my local dumpster (note the entrails spilled below). Keep it classy, Jordan.&lt;/p&gt;

      <title>No Noise Near the Noisy Mosque</title>

        &lt;h4&gt;Sign forbidding sound near mosque on Rainbow Street, Amman&lt;/h4&gt;
        
    &lt;/figcaption&gt;
    
&lt;/figure&gt;


&lt;p&gt;The irony is rich with this one, because this mosque has a sound system from another planet. If I wasn&amp;rsquo;t worried about my personal safety I&amp;rsquo;d put up a sign right next to it saying: &lt;em&gt;Please mute your mosque, there is a sleeping Alan 50m away&lt;/em&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
