Museum of Fezzes, Kaffiyehs, and Yarmulkes To Offer Top-Dollar for Arafat's Headgear

The International Museum of Fezzes, Kaffiyehs, and Yarmulkes is said to be in heated negotiations with Palestinian officials over the price of departed leader Yasser Arafat's distinctive head-wrap, known as a kaffiyeh. The museum is offering one hundred dollars, but the Palestinian delegation says it is worth much less than that. They announced that they wouldn't part with it for a farthing more than five farthings (one farthing=one-half guinea=.232 krugerrands=12 crowns=three-tenths of a guilder).

You may visit the Museum at its main location in Cairo, Egypt, or at its satellite locations in Denver, Jerusalem, beside Lake Titicaca, and in the basement of the first welcome center as you enter the eastern end of the Khyber Pass. Admission is 11,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 dinars (one dinar=five farthings--see above), and on Tuesdays children under 12 and all hajis and mujahedeen get in free.
