I've also seen them drinking in first class on the old Pan=Am 747's while wearing their head rags. We used to supplement our travel expense money by taking bottles of Scotch to the gold market in Tehran where we could get $100.00 for a $10.00 bottle of Johnny Walker Red. Who says that Muslims don't drink?
We were on the beach in Eilat once with several attractive, topless German lasses laying around. This 30ish Arab young man with his robes on was trying to video one of them. She jumped up and smacked the crap out of him. Sent him running like a rat! We couldn't help but laugh our asses off.
