Arabic Joke

You really need to a) speak basic Arabic and English and b) say this out-loud for it to be slightly funny, but here goes anyway.
An English man who speaks little Arabic goes into a Lebanese restaurant, and through pointing at the menu, manages to order some food. After a delicious meal, the waiter asks him - in Arabic - if he wants anything else? The English man shakes his head from side to side, pats his stomach and say 'full, full'.
So the waiter screams out to the kitchen 'foul (ful), foul'.

Yeah...you had to have been there, etc...
