Everyone is always either thinking about the future or the past. It’s like an endless struggle to try and keep up with the present. Because Egyptians are always thinking out of the box, here’s how we would use the time machine:
1. Get rid of the sidewalks:
What’s their use? They’re just taking up space. No one walks on them; everyone is just walking in the middle of the street anyway. We would go back in time and stop the creation of sidewalks.
2. The mystery of the pyramids:
There have been countless myths about why the creation of the pyramids and the secret chambers, but no one has ever laid hands on visual evidence. We only need a chance to talk to the kings, that’s all.
3. Get rid of El Sayes:
We can perfectly do well without him; we appreciate what he does but his profession just needs to disappear. We need to go back in time and prevent the spreading of El Sayes.
4. Prevent sha3by music:
Don’t get us wrong, we actually have a few favorite songs but the idea of this endless music just doesn’t add up. It’s just plain noise and people repeating irrelevant lyrics. We could go back in time and change it a little bit, not totally prevent it.
5. Put that green onion down!
Whoever ate the first green onion before work or university needs to be found. The smell is just unbearable! Eat as much foul and falafel in the morning as you wish, but don’t top it up with green onion! We just need to find that person and everything will be solved.
6. Erase the idea of ‘el tefl el masry azka tefl fl 3alam’:
We know that all parents are proud of their kids and always praising them, but not to the extent that they’re the smartest in the whole world. Some kids are just in la la land if only the inventor of that sentence would get a glimpse at kids nowadays.
Because we will probably be too lazy to do all that, we can just travel to the future and see if all our issues get resolved by themselves.
