"More turbans than you could stick a sheikh in"

I invented this phrase at lunchtime, and I personally think it is about the third most witty thing anyone has ever thought of.

Now I'm just waiting for the perfect situation to come along so I can say it, and be instantly named the Oscar Wilde of my generation.

Um...

Does anyone work at a turban factory?

Anonymous Dan  Perhaps you could broaden the opportunities for it's use to include wind turbines (turbans, do you see)

Perhaps not

Blogger Pandora Caitiff  It must be a day for it! I was struggling for an analogy for our security provider, when inspiration hit:

"I wouldn't trust them to protect a nun's virginity at a eunuch convention" 
Anonymous Jessica Shannon  Sheikh Yoass 
Anonymous Alli' Cat'  Sheikh Rhattlan-Raull ? 
Blogger Kat  Pedant alert:

Stick a sikh in. 
Blogger Becky  Sheikhs wear turbans too, actually. :-P And Sikh doesn't work, anyway. 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  Traditionally a sheik is more likely to wear a keffiyeh, but in a panto (for example) a turban may be worn :) 
Blogger Becky  Actually tradionally sheiks would more likely wear a turban. The keffiyeh is more recent. But I'm tired of arguing with pedants. ;-) 
Blogger Pandora Caitiff  I stand corrected, and cede my pedant crown to you :) 
Anonymous NH  You could always try "World of Turbans", "Turbans Direct" or "Just Turbans" which are all located on the North Circular Road.

Or you could say it whilst watching that old John Travolta movie, "Turban Cowboy".
