just understand how they feel and what they want out of life.”

“Grant, just take your routine and change your references from Muslim to Christian or Jew and Islam to Christianity or Judaism, And your 'towel heads' to Dagos, Kikes or Niggers. How would you feel if you had to hear that?” Rich asked. These are hurtful expressions and I think you should learn about what you are making fun of before you get into trouble.

“Are you a Muslim Joseph? If you are then I confess to you my pure lack of knowledge of the religion and to tell you the truth I really don't care to learn about it.”

“No I'm a Christian, but I do have some knowledge of the religion and customs. I just think that it would be nice if you were to get to know something about the fastest growing religion in the world as well as the third largest religion of the United States.” Joseph said. We have enough politicians running around shooting their mouth off without having you join in.”
“Joseph happens to teach Arabic and Arab customs to the Army personnel at the US Army language school.” Frank said. “He knows what he is talking about.”

“Do you speak Arabic?” Grant asked.

“Thank you, but there is no need to do that, I have made arrangements to meet him after I take you home. I always take the dates I came with home before I … well you know what I mean.”

Frank turned down the offer of a night cap as he dropped them off at the apartment and then watched as they entered the apartment house through the garage. Frank then lifted his cell phone and dialed a number. When the party answered he said, “I'm on my way, pick you up in about 20.” And then he hung up and pulled away from the sidewalk to meet his date.

As Joseph and Rich walked thru the garage Joseph told him he wanted to check the car again. He did and to his astonishment found that there was no bug. He started to question whether or not to call Barns at this late hour, but Bill had always told him to call if anything came up no matter what the time. So as soon as he entered Rich's place he dialed Barns, and apologized for the lateness of the call then told him about the bug.
