But Yusuf, I know you have the best intentions, but don't get carried away trying to get them to take down that printout, or they really will be suspicious and wonder why you're so insistent - and they really might think that you are a guy who uses tricks like that to attack women. One more piece of advice - be careful getting your change out of a phone booth, because people put needles in them that will inject you with HIV. ;) Assalaamu alaikum,
