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
