New A bit OT.
Just today had a call from a friend to see if I was interested in a 6 month assignment for big bucks and all expenses for me and my wife in Saudi Arabia. IBM mainframe stuff. I asked if it was a joke. It wasn't.

No thanks! There was no need to ask how big the buck were.

New Heh - a friend went there..
Maintain radio transmitter stuff. Make the full 1 year (?) or lose most of the pay. He hated it.

One of their guys wondered if I might like to do some of their test equipment, lab equipment. Gave me the high privilege and distict pleasure of telling him to stuff his Heathen Compound / concentration camp, in an appropriate place of low illumination.

Shit - give us oil and we'll sleep with Anyone.

It's always the small minority of people who are total assholes that ruin it for the vast majority of people who are only partial assholes.
