Years ago a Syrian lady asked my mother why I didn't marry my first cousin, whose family had a lot of money.
My mother said ‘We don't do that’.
The Syrian lady couldn't understand why we let all that money go ‘out of the family’. Money is part of it as well.
Oh, sure.
If they have any money, they’ll try to hold onto it that way and not “let it leave the family.”
But the tyical unemployed, dirt-poor “Arab Street” derelicts don’t give the impression of having much, if any, property.
But you never can tell-—that’s for sure.
