I wanna see this movie!

Which reminds me of the camel rides at the spynx in Egypt. After
bargaining for a while, the unwary tourist pays for the ride... not
knowing that when it's time to come back they have to bargain again
for the ride back.

Steve Touchstone,

ROFL! I guess you have somewhat less bargaining power on that second ride.

Yep, the return trip costs twice as much. We flew over to take part in
a multi-national exercise (I'm retired Army) in '88. One of my techs
had just enough Egyptian money to pay to the first leg of the trip.
Ended up having to promise to pay four times to get back where she
could borrow some. BTW, the female soldiers seemed to be targeted for
this particular scam.
