Carpool canceled, whole idea went up in smoke and riders flew instead
Hello Boss, this is Haji. Muji and I are still waiting for the company truck to pick us up. We've been across the street from the square for two hours. You know the one with the statue commemorating the victory over the Americans in the Kuwait War.
Oh, you say the carpool idea is "up in the air". The whole truck disappeared? Maybe it was stolen. Oh, there's been 13 missing persons reports filed.
Gee that's funny, Muji and I have been noticing a misty reddish tint in the sky to the east out over the desert. We were thinking of that old saying, "Red sky in the morning, Jihadi take warning". Isn't that where the truck was picking up the other workers?
Oh well, I guess Muji and I will have to find a new ride again. We'll start walking for now.
