Oh Man

Dr Laura on Armed Forces Radio:
March 1998, Manama Bahrain. I’m here on TDY for the first time with two DC guys who had previously visited. We are headed to the main souk outdoor markets so DC guys can get inexpensive 22 karat gold

I’m in the back seat as these clowns BLAST Dr Laura on AFR as we drive down the road. DC guys of course get lost and we are driving through neighborhoods of people hitting on hookahs and trying to chill out. DC guys go Ugly American and start yelling Souk! Repeatedly. And Dr Laura continues to blare

Finally I have enough BS and security risk (albeit low because Bahrain is Emir ruled monarchy with strong authority and vert affluent) and in the middle of a neighborhood, I say in response to Dr Laura advice, wait let me get this straight. She just spent to five minutes Harpie Shrieking about a guy getting LAID? One Bahraini smiled

This snaps DC guy 1 to life and he changes the station to Arabic music and we find the souk 3 minutes later

The only time in my life I ever heard Dr Laura
