Time for the “Dark Humor is like Food” meme.
Archaeologists have found proof that the Philistines were actually Greeks who had migrated to the region during the collapse. I wonder how those Arabs feel about being called Greeks?

Heck, even Cuba has a tourist industry, and who cares if the smiles are genuine if the service is good?
Even the Maldives charge a premium, and they’re moslem and they make secret fun of the bride and groom their during their wedding services. And still they make a fortune.
Maybe some Psalm 60:8?
The older I get, the more I realize how old history is.

I relish the gob-smack moment of anybody who thinks that their ancestors sprung out of the very ground on which they stand the same way that mine did.
Yes, that, too, was glorious.
