"You know something, Twenty?", said Dirty Dave.

"What's that, Dirty Dave", I replied.

"I've been thinking - don't say it! It didn't hurt, har har - but I've come to the conclusion that Arabs must be absolutely shit at fighting."

"Why's that then?"

"Well, I was looking at Wikipedia to get some background on this whole situation in Israel and Lebanan and according to them there are only around 14.5m Jews in the whole world."

"Go on..."

"Well, Arabs have hated Jews for centuries and they've been warring on and off for as long as anyone can remember."

"And?"

"Well, there are fucking millions of Arabs. Far more than there are Jews so considering how powerful some Jewish people are and the fact they they have their own country right beside a load of Arabs you have to think that Arabs are completely crap at fighting."

"Hmmm, interesting. On the other hand it could just mean that Jews, as well as being excellent for balancing your chequebook and dispensing other financial advice, are really fucking good at fighting. I mean, if you were no good at it why would you make your country right in the middle of a load of other countries who hate you?"

"That is a good point. Like if you went to a bar and you sat at a table surrounded by all your enemies. Only a double-hard bastard would attempt anything so crazy. Jews are like Bruce Willis from the Die Hard movies. Totally outnumbered by people who want to kill him but are so crap at shooting their guns in his face he always manages to fight them off and save the day."

"I do like the way your mind works sometimes, Dave. You'd have to wonder why there's never been a Jewish heavyweight champion of the world though."
