Quote from Eight:
I'm still pissed at Iranians for the oil shocks of the '70's.. if they get really messed up like Iraq it wont' bother me. Nothing bothers me anyhow.
I worked with Iranians in the high tech industry of So Cal.. talk about shock! It wasn't oil shock it was culture shock to learn that there were these incredibly obnoxious people and they all moved to the LA area. I used to comment how the phrase "f$^king Iranians" seems to roll off the tongue.. So I said to myself "oh come on, give them a chance" and I did, I observed them and learned.. they marry their second cousins, inbred people are xenophobic, etc... and obnoxious is a way of life for them, in fact, they don't seem to have plans they just keep on being obnoxious until they get their way. That is what that president of Iran is doing, just being obnoxious until he gets his way.
I knew this boring-assed Jewish Iranian, ye godz, that one had refined obnoxious to a high art. He used it to cover up for being incompetent and it worked pretty well for the guy. He could do obnoxious all day every day.. Eventually he gets married, collects just a ton of really expensive wedding gifts and within a month his wife splits with all the stuff and wiped out his checking account.. left him with an empty apartment. I always wondered if she planned that from the get-go or what... Obnoxious people have unreal lives sometimes...
