The American "flash"

If you can't accept losing, you can't win.

-Vince Lombardi

It was one of those boring w/e were you had nothing to do but wait for a miracle or invent one to shake things up...A good friend of mine let's call him Samy...was in one of those compounds that you can call a "foreign village" or pigeon holes designed for extranjeros (meaning: foreigners in spanish)...*

*In Saudi...most foreigners do not live like any other citizens... but are sectioned by nationality and job titles in compounds...a good 20-30 minutes from central...

Samy's hangout compound wasn't the friendliest...it was the American coumpound...

Just one look at the gates (if you can see the gates) makes you want to give up right here and there...tanks, stung guns, mini stun guns, multi function defenders, flash lights, dogs,bulletproof vests, handcuffs, burglar alarm systems even pepper spray (in case the terrorist wants to steel your bag during the process)...are displayed in the entrance...it takes and hour to get to the door...forget your american friend! just go the Belgiums next door...

But Samy was a great guy and besides it is unfair to let down his high school friends for a little get naked.. open trunk...dissect the car inside out searching!!!!!!... so in he went our brave man to spend a night with the gang...

of course the boring syndrome did not dismiss are honorable friends from the new world...All they came up with that night was cards, play stations and other smoking substances that would make Afro man green with envy....

Thats when samy and his friends decided to bet on one of the guy's girlfriend...
her name was Jessica...Jess to friends...

Jess like any other girl enjoyed the ration of guys 3:1 and decided to hang out with them for some cards, play stations and other smoking substances... the bet was to get Jess to flash everybody with her consent and her boyfriend right there in the other room...It was new...It was hormonal...and definetely something to remember in that oh-so-boring evening...

the conversation went like this :

Samy: God I am soooooo bored.....
Jess: OMG!!!! I know it's like I want to kill myself!!!!!
Samy: Hey Jess...how about flashing us!!!!
Jess: (giggle) Sam you're craaaaazyyyyyyy!!!!!...(giggle with a bit of hysterical laughter)....my boyfriend is right there....
Samy: Oh.........
Samy: Hmmmmmm.....
Samy: I get it.....
Samy: but I really didn't think you were that type though....
Jess: What type? what do you mean?!!!!!! (total astonishment...eyes wide open)
Samy: I mean you guys are not even married and you are playing the submissive wife...good for you I guess Omar taught you well....
Jess: He didn't teach me anything... NOBODY controls me....(cheeks start to flush)
Samy: hmmmm...(playing it cool)
Jess: Hey!!!! Seriously I am an american ...an A...MA...RI...CAN ...and I can do what the F**** I want to do!!!!! HUH!!!!!

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< FLASH >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>


Jess got her point...

Samy got his money....

The guys had a lovely evening...

and the boyfriend till this day doesn't know....


THE END
