* Up sheikh creek?
On arriving back in Australia and discovering the shambles with the convict builders a frustrated Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali went to a leading appliance store sale hunting for bargains.
“I would like to buy this small TV,” he told the salesman.
“Sorry, we don’t sell to Sheikhs,” replied the fourth generation bread thief.
Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali hurried home, removed his funky sheikh outfit and changed his hair style, and returned to the store.
“I would like to buy this TV.”
“Sorry, we don’t sell to Sheikhs,” the shrewd salesman replied.
“Damn, he recognised me,” thought Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali. "These convicts are smarter than they look."
The shifty Sheikh went for a complete disguise this time, haircut, new hair colour, new outfit, big sunglasses, waited a few days, and then approached the salesman again.
“I would like to buy this TV.”
“Sorry, we don’t sell to Sheikhs,” the salesman replied.
Extremely frustrated, Sheikh Taj al-Din al-Hilali exclaimed, “How do you know I’m a Sheikh?”
“Because that’s a microwave,” replied the salesman.

.. it reminded me of one time at Singapore airport, where about 13 Indians in white Khurta's, were trying to check in with a Huge box containing a washing machine [clearly marked]. I left them haggling over excess charge rates...
