Arabs are taking over the world

Yesterday, I received an email with the following sentence (and which has nothing to do with the title of the post):

Congratulations! Your dissertation/thesis id 0000000540 has been approved by the Office of the University Registrar.

Please find the comments as: Congratulations!.


which for me, marks the end of an era in my life. And today, I stepped onto a plane and left California, probably for good.

I step off the plane in my new city, enter Hertz to rent a car, and start talking to the employee there. He looks at my driver's license, and then says: Isim libnani?

Yes, the first person I meet here is an Arab. And then suddenly, the initial quote he had given me got reduced, with some extra perks.

Seriously, we're everywhere.
