“Go away I want to get married”.

Mubarak for dummies.

“You’re going means you’re going, DO IT so I can go take a shower”.

“Go away, I miss my wife. Married just 20 days”.

“Now with hieroglyphs maybe you can understand, GO AWAY”.

"Go away, my wife wants to give birth and the child has no wish to see you".

"Association of Egyptian carpentry asks Mubarak: what kind of glue are you using?". A super adhesive they'd like to know about, surely.

"Go away I've lost my voice, go away my arm is sore".

"30 years of corruption, Get Out". If a red card doesn't say it best, what can?

"We don't want you. I wrote it in Chinese because he doesn't understand Arabic".

A burnt car filled with garbage sports a sign reading, "National Party Headquarters".

An Egyptian man is holding a placard that reads "A photo with the president". (Photo by 3arabawy - صَحـَـفي مِصـْـري.)

Maybe the language of computers in 2011 would do the trick: "Move to recycle bin..."
