Since yester-evening I've been feeling a bit ill, so I'm going to keep this somewhat short. And to think I was days away about bragging how I never become ill since I've been here, while everyone around me was getting a virus here and a bug there.

One quick story and off I go. Last night in an attempt to stomach something, I stopped by this pizza parlor kinda place. The guys working there were complete pricks, and began to make fun of poor me in their native tongue of Egyptian Arabic. So I fugured two can place this game, and asked anyone in the place (in Arabic)whether or not they could speak English? No responses - I figured I was safe to begin talking really fast English to them as their heads spun in astonishment - saying things like "ohhh you don't know what I'm saying...how does it feel? how about you go brush your teeth? etc etc" All the time I have a smile on my face to hide my motive. After my verbal whip-lashing I felt redeemed and I went and sat outside and waited for my fatiyya (which is like a real shitty version of a pizza puff). A few minutes later - out comes one of the guys and begins to speak perfect English to me. He was actually nice about it, but for the rest of the time I just sat their and got all introspective on their asses. Pizza Parlor Guys-1 Me-0

Oh...the second prize will be the winners name written in Arabic from me. I'm just pulling out all the bells and whistles for this one - huh?
