Be warned: the authorities will not pay

"Any stranger, be it man, woman or child of average mind, who is foolish enough to venture out by himself looking for a cafetiere or other Western kitchen appliance or contraption in this dark and dismal quartier of a godforsaken border town is likely to meet a sordid ending at the hand of some sullen bloodthirsty villain of Turkish descent out for his pound of flesh. Be warned: the authorities will not pay for cremation."

- from Tell It Like It Is: The Unvarnished Guide to Suleymania, Argonaut Press, p.1226
