Pick up from where I left off in the last post on homes looking like Beirut, DAVY (@DavidCarson66) has been cooking up a storm in his kitchen and was left with a serious mess:
@ann_annalu @MarieElliott22 Boo hoo. Kitchen looks like Hiroshima. Worse than Beirut

Interesting how a kitchen “war zone” leads to connections to two cities that have been at war (not with each other, of course). Everyone has a kitchen mess story. I enjoying cooking myself, yet the dichotomy of a beautifully baked lasagna and the explosion of pots and utensils in the sink is all too common. But honestly, Hiroshima and Beirut from a messy kitchen? Cue David’s Looks Like Beirut certificate:
@DavidCarson66 Thanks for considering that Hiroshima (WW2) is worse than Beirut (civil war). #LooksLikeBeirut pic.twitter.com/BJpCVsNYmO

Unlike Claire Allan’s response, I got a positive response from David:
@LebanonNewsURS The state of my kitchen looked like a War Zone after I cooked dinner. Bad joke in bad taste. I apologise for any offence :'(

I’ll definitely be adding that to the Looks Like Beirut No More page.
My objective with the Looks Like Beirut certificate is to educate. It’s not to make fun or cause offense though I know I do come off a little strong at times. So, just to make it clear I’ve Tweeted up my primary objective:
@DavidCarson66 No worries 😉 Just trying to help the world through their Beirut=destruction addiction

I might consider that as my new tagline for the website.
