Driving ......

One hand on wheel, one hand out of window : Chicago.

One hand on wheel, one hand on horn : New York.

One hand on wheel, one hand on newspaper, foot solidly on accelerator: Boston.

Both hands on wheel, eyes shut, both feet on brake, quivering in terror : Ohio, but driving in California.

Both hands in air, gesturing, both feet on accelerator, head turned to talk to someone in back seat: Italy.

And finally:

One hand on horn, one hand greeting, one ear on cell phone, one ear listening to loud music, foot on accelerator, eyes on female pedestrians,conversation with someone in next car : Welcome to Tehran!!!
