And this is why I know all Arabs aren't bad people

True story... our driver cussed like a sailor, bought us several drinks and hung out with us at dinner... he was one of the few drivers that actually hung out with his riders.

As we got to know him a bit, I asked him if he was Emirate and he said yes, but I'm a hooligan Arab. He actually used the word hooligan -- but with his accent, I wasn't sure what he meant, so I asked him.

He said, "hooligan. hoo-li-gan, you know, someone that doesn't work very hard, smokes too much, drinks too much, and chases too much pussy." I told him, "hell, we could be kin-folk!"

Good times.
