Well, hell. To keep with the highjack direction of this thread, and earn some cross-thread points, I'll add this from my high school years.
I lived in the largest town in the OK Panhandle. Ten miles away was a small A&M college (now part of OU). There were 2 Saudi princes going to the college and both would show up on Friday and Saturday night to "drag Main". One drove a lime or pea soup green GTX and the other a red Chevy 427 Impala SS.
They both seemed to be nice guys but I only really knew the guy with the Chevy. He was here learning animal husbandry and was the only one with a girlfriend.
They endured the "raghead, towelhead" jokes and gave as good as they got with a slight British accent.
They're in their early to mid 70s now and may be among the ruling royals. Or not. Considering recent "princely" activities in L.A., I can only assume that their youngins' are less well behaved than the parents.
