A devout middle eastern gentleman entered a black cab in London.  He curtly asked the cabbie to turn off the radio because, as  decreed by his religious  teaching, he must not listen to the  music because, in the time of the prophet, there was no  music, especially Western music which is the music of the infidel.*

            *The cab driver politely switched off the radio,stopped the cab and opened the door.*

            *The middle eastern gentleman asked him, "What are you doing?"*

            *The cabbie answered, "In the time of the prophet, there were no taxis,so bugger off and wait for a camel!"*
