Another Out of Work Comedienne..actually it's kinda funny)

Arab-American comedians finds a nightclub where jokes on touchy subjects work
By JONATHAN KAUFMAN
The Wall Street Journal
Three days after Sept. 11, Ahmed Ahmed took the stage at the Comedy Store on Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood for the toughest stand-up comedy gig of his life.

"You have no idea how rough it is to be an Arab these days," he said, peering out at the Friday-night crowd. "I went to the airport to check in. The man at the ticket counter said, 'Are these your bags?' I said, 'Yes, sir.' He said, "Did you pack them yourself?' I said, 'Yes, sir.' They arrested me."

"On the flight all my meals come pre-cut," Mr. Ahmed went on. "They won't give me any utensils. When I got up to go to the bathroom, they give me an escort. I can't even fly a kite in this country.

"The other night I went to a nightclub with a friend and we were carded at the door. I showed the woman my California driver's license, which has my full name — Ahmed Aboubakr Ahmed — and a picture of me with a beard. Her eyes bugged out of her head. I put my hand on her shoulder and said, 'Look, we just want to come in and celebrate. I just graduated from flight school."

Think it's tough finding a job in this economy? Try being an Arab-American comedian.
