Retired Generals Offer Escape Tips from Backgammon Caf�

A group of retired Iranian generals, holed up in a backgammon caf� on the edge of Tehran, has declared themselves the official evacuation advisory council. Between sips of tea and slaps of dominoes, they offer tips such as "travel at dawn," "bribe with bread," and "never trust a goat with wet eyes." When asked if they were planning to leave, General Parvaneh scoffed, "Leave? I fought three wars and two mother-in-laws. This is nothing." Locals have begun gathering at the caf� for tactical wisdom and free pistachios. One tip gaining traction: "Always pack extra underwear and emotional detachment." The caf�'s new motto? "Where legends linger, and panic gets checkmated." SOURCE: http://bohiney.com
