Yes, in early days, Americans didn't smile for photos:

But Teddy Roosevelt started the fashion with lots of cheese:

What happens if you say "cheese" in Arabic? I think here if you say 'meat' in Arabic you will get better and bigger and wider smiles on the dinner!:yes:

So Haill! Meat... whatever form it takes, either mashakeek, Madfoon, Mandi, Kabsah, Beriani....or even Barb-Q!:star:

Jeff
02-01-08, 08:42 PM
Yay! Hamburgers! Charcoal broiled! :p That will make ANYBODY smile!

We could also say UmKhaliiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiid.

Maybe the problem comes from the fact that some don't know how to say "cheese" right.

Somebody says, "Now say 'cheeeeese'!" and they look at the camera and say:

Chis.

Ohh that would be hard, the photgrapher will have to get the picture right when they get to the D. A second earlier: people will appear with their mouths slightly open in the picture. A second late: their faces will turn back to their gloomy expressions, so we didn't really do anything.

Better just shout Yes in a certain Arabic dialect: Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!
