Beirut Taxi

This happened maybe nine or 10 years ago. I was still working at NBN TV in Beirut. That morning my friends called me to get them Lahm Bi Ajin (minced meat with onion baked as pizza in the oven) breakfast on my way to work.
I got the breakfast and took a service (collective taxi).
I was the only passenger, when suddenly the young taxi driver asked me: Miss... Can I ask you what is your perfume?
Me, surprised, I answer proudly: Japanese Musk (it was my lastest perfume discovery and I used all the time)... why are you asking?
Taxi driver: Because it smells like Lahm Bi Ajin!
Shocked, I answered: well... yes, because I have Lahm Bi Ajin in my bag!
