Now you see, this is why you won't see me in a hookah lounge. 

According to the News-Times, a husband and wife were both allegedly stabbed with a sword at a hookah lounge in West Hartford. The couple is identified as George Ayoub and Najeh Frehi.

The Hookah Lounge is called the 1001 Arabian Nights Hookah Lounge and Ayoub is actually the owner.  Police say a sword was the weapon used in the attack and the Farmington, CT couple is recovering at a nearby hospital.

OK, I don't do hookah lounges for so many reasons, but I will add not wanting to be stabbed with a sword to that list.

Here are some of the other reasons:

Hookah lounges are hipster hangouts - do I need to tell you what i think of hipsters?

Rich college kids hang out there on their break from traveling to Belize to grace us all with their local presence.  Of course they think their hometown is horrible and they would not dare step foot into the popular local watering hole, because it would negate their travel and education to lower themselves to spend any time with us peasants or townies.

I smoke everyday, I don't need to make a date of it.  It's not something I think is cool or I am proud of.  But here's the rub.

People who go to hookah lounges DON'T smoke. Enjoy the shortness of breath and headache in the morning you rookie.  They go because it is trendy.  If it's part of your culture that is one thing, but refer to the first few reasons I don't go and I bet you that they make up 90 percent of the crowd.

OK you get it......But WOW A SWORD...THIS GUY USED A SWORD!?  WHAT A SHOW OFF, WHAT A HARDO!

Relax guy. We are here to have a good time, if you are going to stab me can you just be a gentleman about it and use a knife?

What is the world coming to when people that hate each other cannot stab each other half to death with a knife?

The sword is just mean.
