A trip to Yemen requires the following:

  1. A coat to cover the traveller’s head, so that he can’t see. You must then hit his head a lot, generally a constant, reasonably gentle slapping.

  2. During the slapping the travel guide informs the voyager that he is “going to Yemen”, where he must “demand the release of Muhammad Akbar”. Meanwhile, keep saying the wise words “Yemeny Yemeny Yemeny”.

  3. Two assistants hold the coat in place while the tourist is carried around, upside down and spinning in all axes.

  4. He should be left in a new and interesting place to pull the coat from his face. Wherever you left him, for the purposes of this exercise, is “Yemen”.

Not that cruel, not painful, just baffling.

In geography lessons, any mention of the country of Yemen MUST be said loudly as “Yeah Mon!” in the style of Porkpie from Desmonds. Similarly, Oman must be said in the tones of a tired hippy. Deviations will not be tolerated.
