Chanting “God is Great”

She's not really known for milkshakes.

Now if she'd opened a baby back ribs place....

I’ve heard of her, but would not recognize her if she passed me on the street.

What has she ever done?

This article has so much in it that’s funny, including the pic. Chris Humphries must have some big fans in Bahrain.
