Tyres and attitude

The man from the tyre shop hurled my car round a bend for the third time trying to check that the balance at the back was just right. We both agreed it was fine now, in spite of a very large pot hole destroying two hubs and tyres.

When we got back, he said something that made me think.
I'm a Bedouin, not an Arab. I don't like Arabs very much. I'm not really an Israeli either. I think like a Bedouin but I work like a Yekki.

Note for non Israelis: A yekki is a German orgin Jew. Known in Israel for their love of order.
