overheard

while waiting for my takeout order today ... two saudi men are sitting at a table nearby ... they seem to be on their lunch break ... they are older men ... maybe in their forties ... one has a newspaper ... he is telling the other guy about the flotilla ... how there is one more ship on the way ... that the ship is named rachel corrie and he explained to him who rachel corrie was ... then he said ... there were 18 kuwaitis on those ships ... and even some bahrainis ... but not one saudi ... then they started to discuss why that is ... is it because they can't ... because nobody cares ... they were still debating it when i left ...
