Imagine you're walking down a long one-way street. You notice a car driving the wrong way on a one way street and coming from the opposite direction you notice a fleet of cars. You don't have more than half a second to say anything, and it wouldn't do much good if you could. The driver is no more than 20 feet away from you and you have a clear look at his face. What do you expect that face to be? Panic? Fear? Realization of a terrible mistake followed immediately by horror?
no.
I was in this situation and the look that I saw could have been any number of things: What am I going to have for dinner? What was the name of that one Charlies Angel? Is this a fart?
What I didn't see was one shred of fear. He actually looked annoyed if anything. Then he pauses and calmly backs up the car into a parking space and waits for traffic to pass.
Oh, and then I think I ate 4 dinners tonight. People love feeding you during Ramadan.
I also found a place to drink, if you're a foreigner (sorry Coptic Egyptians -no dice), and a place that will risk jail time to deliver me beer at a 10% higher cost. Capitalism: 2 Rules:0
