re "some useful phrases to know"--I sent these to some friends, including a former intelligence analyst. Here's what he replied:

"We used to have this hanging on the wall back in our old branch at CIA. Nice to see them making the rounds again. (BTW, my recollection is that they are farsi -- they look farsi to me, also -- because we used to have them up as "useful phrases when travelling in Iran.")

Thanks for sharing."
