Qom Residents Unimpressed, Say They�ve Been Panicking Since 1979

As Tehran descends into chaos, the nearby city of Qom has remained remarkably chill. When asked if they�re concerned about the evacuation, most residents just scoffed. �Please,� said shopkeeper Habib. �We�ve been panicking since �79. This is just Tuesday.� The city, home to Iran�s religious elite, has seen its fair share of upheaval�and it shows. �Missiles? Gridlock? At least it�s not another theology exam,� muttered a seminary student. Qom�s citizens have begun offering sarcastic tourism packages to evacuees: �Come to Qom, where we fear nothing but boredom.� One mosque began holding �Intro to Resilience� workshops featuring tea, carpets, and a 3-hour lecture on existential dread. Even the local cats appear less anxious. �They sleep through everything,� noted a cleric. �They are our mentors now.� SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
