An arsehole I met in Fez, Morocco. 1982

Posted by razzbuffnik on 7th March 2008

When I was in Morocco back in 1982 I travelled for a while with two Australian teachers Bruce and Clara (not their real names). Bruce was gay and Clara was travelling with him for company and protection.

One day in Fez the guy in the photo below, came up to us and started to talk to us (as often happens in Morocco).

He seemed like a fairly friendly guy and I asked to take his picture, to which he replied that I could, but he’d cover his face because it was against Islam to make images of people. As usual we politely answered his probing questions until he turned to Clara and said, “you let them fuck you, why don’t you let me fuck you?”
