Frankfurt, Germany — A Pakistani tourist who flew from Karachi to explore Europe, spent his second day in Frankfurt missing his parents, wife, siblings and his muslim shower, sourced revealed to Roznama Jawani.
Sheikh Shumail Jaan, 32, who is currently on his self designed Euro-trip, flew from Karachi on Wednesday morning and opted to choose PIA as the carrier in order to generate some revenue for the country, but unknowingly funded a booze party by the PIA high ranking staff. A banner which read “Thank You Sheikh Shumail Jaan” was hung on the wall of the house where the PIA officials indulged in substance abuse that night.
Shumail Jaan, after landing in Frankurt spent his first day looking for the hotel his friend Shabir Ahmed had booked for him on the Internet and finally checked in after 4 hours of looking and passing in front of it half a dozen times. Later that night, as a tired Shumail Jaan was retiring to bed he hugged his pillow and fell asleep instantly.
The sources say that when Shumail woke up in the morning, he instantly had to run to the bathroom where he realized that the hotel provided him with a shower cap but he was not able to locate a muslim shower. The same sources say that this perhaps was a reality check for Mr. Shumail that he is not in Pakistan anymore and the roll of toilet paper served as a catalyst for the culture shock he received while sitting on the toilet seat.
According to Mr. Shumail’s itinerary, he was supposed to visit Frankfurt’s landmarks on a hop-on hop-off bus tour at exactly 11 am but the lack of a muslim shower seemed like a big hurdle. Instead, Mr. Shumail just sat on the toilet seat for hours missing his family and his own bathroom.
Later Shumail Jaan was heard telling his wife over the phone that he wished his parents had trained him for times like these and that he wished that he had not taken muslim showers for granted. Mr. Shumail’s parents had invested a lot of money in his upbringing and had enrolled him for various activities since childhood like Karate classes; he was currently a red-belt, several summer camps, computer classes, and a decent college education. The same sources say that he is also a sharp shooter and a successful businessman thanks to his oratory skills, amongst a lot of other skills that he had developed over time. The sources say that it seems the only thing right now Mr. Shumail is incapable of doing is wiping his own ass with a toilet paper.
Speaking with Roznama Jawani, Mrs. Shumail said that she felt for him and realized how important the toilet utensils actually were. “He must’ve felt devastated. Missing your family being stuck on a toilet seat is not how one looks forward to when starting their day. But I am just glad my muslim shower works perfectly. Last night it sort of helped me miss my husband less and these days will be bearable I can forsee.”
