Jay,who is an American businessman,come back from his two-month business trip in Saudi Arabia thoroughly frustrated."I can't believe those people over there,"he complained to anyone who would listen."You think wo have problems with corruption here;you should try doing business over there.I worked my tail off trying to make contacts and it didn't do a bit of good.It turn out that the only way to make the contacts is to grease the wheel with a little money to the so-called middlemen,extortionists if you ask me,and to keep greasing it.A lot of times when they eat,they all eat off one large plate in the middle and they eat with their hands.Or hand I should say.Don't try eating with you left hand.It's considered dirty!If they are worried about being sanitary,why are they eating with their hand off of a group plate in the first place?And,you know,they are so strange.The women and men don't even eat together in the same room!
