Rasheed Visits USA
Rasheed from Saudi Arabia was visiting the United States for the very first time. He arrived at JFK Airport and after clearing customs and collecting his suitcase he exited the terminal and hailed a Yellow Cab, intending to travel to Manhattan. By chance the driver, Vincente, was a crusty old Italian from Brooklyn who had been driving cabs for 40 years and resembled Robert De Niro.
Once he is seated, Rasheed asked the Yellow Cab driver to turn off the radio because, as decreed by Islam and the holy prophet Mohammed (Peace be upon him), he must not hear music and in the time of the prophet, there was no music; especially Western music, which is music of the infidel.
So, Vincente promptly switched off the radio, stopped his Yellow Cab on the side of the Long Island Expressway, and opened the back door.
Rasheed said "What are you doing"?
Vincente replied "In the time of the prophet there were no Yellow Cabs... so get out and wait for a blooming camel"!
