The Shoe-thrower is Awarded with Hand in Marriage

Middle East’s Muntazer Al-zaidi ‘the shoe-thrower’, America’s irritating Joe ‘the plumber’ counterpart, was eulogized widely in the Arab world for his weird but brave act for throwing his shoes, one after the other, to president Bush. He received the highest accolade when one Arab pronounced that his daughter and the shoe-thrower be joined in matrimony. “I find nothing more valuable than my daughter to offer to him”. In other words, his daughter is his most valuable property.
