Modernity

Modernity
An Arab sheikh is in hospital and a friend will visits him.
- What happened? - Asks the friend.
- Is this modernity.I  Blame that damned Westernization of our country, this influence of the Americans. We have lived far better days.
- I do not see why you complain. You are very rich, you have your palaces, your luxury cars, you subjects respect you, and your forty-five beautiful wives at your disposal.
- The biggest problem is the American films. Imagine that yesterday they were showing one of these films on television. In the film, there was a husband who came home late at night and his wife gave him a beating with a wooden roller. Well, when I got home today early in the morning all my wives were waiting for me with a wooden roller. They gave me forty-five blows and all because of those damned Americans.
