Worthy Brief - 8/21/2009
Shortly after WWI, Lawrence of Arabia was entertaining some of his Arab friends in Paris. He showed them the sights of the city: the Arc d’Triomph, the Louvre, the Champs Elysees.
It was a remarkable irony to Lawrence that these amazing sights were not what most impressed his Arab friends — but rather the bathtub faucet of their hotel room. They were completely astonished that someone could turn a handle...and get all the water he wanted.
As they were preparing to leave Paris, Lawrence found his foreign friends in the bathroom with wrenches trying to disconnect the faucet.
They said, “It is very dry in Arabia. What we need are faucets. If we have them, we will have all the water we want.” Lawrence had to explain that the water did not come from the faucets, but rather from the water supply to which they were connected. It doesn’t matter if you have a faucet — if you’re not connected to the water supply!
Lol....good one
BTW the paradise that Allah promises his Jihadist murderers is green with flowing water. One common Islamic flag is green with Arabic writing.
Green is what Islam dreams of and aspires to. Green fertile nations to be overrun by Muslim demographics. We in Europe, America, Canada take green landscapes for granted. Someone from Iraq or Saudi Arabia sees them as an unusual luxury
Houses in Gaza and the West Bank are always made of cinder block, concrete and rebar. No wood is used for obvious reasons. Yassir Arafat got rich being in the concrete business.
