You have had an interesting life!  Those Arabs sure like their blondes, don't they?  lol  On my last trip to Israel in 2005, one offered 200 camels, several goats and a chicken for my hand in marraige!  I'm still trying to figure out the chicken.  Is that the change, like $2.98?  I was flattered after I found out a good racing camel is worth several thousand dollars!  It was still very strange to realize people still did that, though.
