Prince Hashem on Saturday welcomes guests to the Royal Court, where King Abdullah hosted lunch for tribal and refugee camp leaders, journalists, diplomats, senior officials and officers in celebration of Prince Hashem’s marriage to Princess Fahdah, daughter of Sheikh Mohammad Ben Ibrahim Ben Suleiman Abu Niyyan. The Monarch and other Royal family members also welcomed guests from Saudi Arabia and Oman. A captain in the Jordan Arab Army’s 3rd Royal Rangers Battalion, Prince Hashem, born in 1981, obtained last year his undergraduate degree in comparative studies from Georgetown University’s School of Foreign Services

Hi Nas,
Best wishes to Prince Hashem and the Princess Fahdah!
I’m an American reader of your blog. As someone who enjoys The Onion, I thought you might like the following:
“If you’re not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he’s the
famous erudite comedian who once said: “I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen… and replaced by exact duplicates.” His mind tends to see things a bit differently than the rest of us mortals. Here are some of his gems:”
1- I’d kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.
2- Borrow money from pessimists – they don’t expect it back.
3- Half the people you know are below average.
4- 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.
5- 42.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.
6- A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.
7- A clear conscience is usually the sign o f a bad memory.
8- If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
9- All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand.
10- The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the
cheese.
11- I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.
12- OK, so what’s the speed of dark?
13- How do you tell when you’re out of invisible ink?
14- If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously
overlooked something.
15- Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.
16- When everything is coming your way, you’re in the wrong lane.
17- Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.
18- Hard work pays off in the future, laziness pays off now.
19- I intend to live forever; so far, so good.
20- If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?
21- Eagles may soar, but weasels don’t get sucked into jet engines.
22- What happens if you get scared half to death twice?
23- My mechanic told me, “I couldn’t repair your brakes, so I made
your horn louder.”
24- Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?
25- If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you
tried.
26- A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.
27- Experience is something you don’t get until just after you
need it.
28- The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the
bread .
29- To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from
many is research.
30- The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.
31- The sooner you fall behind, the more time you’ll have to catch
up.
32- The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required
to be on it.
33- Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don’t have film.
34- If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your
headlights work?
Now, doesn’t that give you something to think about?

Congrats!
Nooooooooo:D I used to LIKE him in my teenage days.lol
Mabrook!
Any pics of her?:p
Mabrook! I guess many girls will be disappointed by this 😀
Peter.S: lol nice gems! Thanks for sharing!
Every time I hear any news about Prince Hashem I remember this funny story… I went to Georgetown University a few years ago to attend a book signing by Queen Noor for her new book, she apparently scheduled it during “Parents Weekend” at the university b/c her son (Hashem) goes there. I met my friend (an Arab) who goes there, and after we left with our autographed books. We passed by her other friend (not Arab) who was asking us what the book signing was about. We told her it was Queen Noor, Hashem’s mother. She didn’t get it. We told her, “Hashem, you know, he’s the son of King Hussein, the king of Jordan, he’s a prince.” Her jaw dropped, and she said “Are you serious? Haaaashem?” (in this unique American way of pronouncing Arabic names) “He’s my friend and I had no idea!” She practically didn’t believe us until we pulled out the book and showed her pics of him with his royal family. Apparently he wasn’t very open about his royalty 🙂
Mabrook to him!
Will I get your blog in trouble when I say I really, really don’t like Hashem? He was at Duke before he transferred over to Georgetown, and he had a reputation for being a sexist jerk. The girls were in awe of him, of course, so it’s not entirely his fault, but still. What a waste of space.
Natalia, did you know him personally?
(p.s. yeah you might get me into a little trouble) 😀
No, I didn’t know him personally. I have a very good friend who had some weird experiences being around him. I didn’t really see him personally, and that’s probably a good thing, I got close to some of his friends after he already left. People, Arabs in particular, generally used him to show off their status, and I just try to stay as far away from that sort of thing as possible. He was the sort of person who felt completely justified in looking a girl up and down like a piece of meat, but then again, he appeared to be nice in that whole rich-kid-with-no-worries way. That’s what the thinking folk say.
Natalia, well if you heard it from a friend often times impressions can be misleading or wrong so keep an open heart 🙂
