January 17, 1916, Konstantinpole, no wait, ARGH!
Aide: Oh, great sultan, master of all, lord of the horizons and all your servants survey. The one that makes your servants not survey their wives, I greet thee in a humble manner and hopes that you will share your divine time so that I, a lowly servant maight have the privilige to speak to your blessed ears.
(Yay!)
Sultan: Grim art they news that you bring sultan, so has the angel said to me in my royal sleep. May your words be as wise as the donkey, the saviour of men, may they be as sweet as honey to my ears... or I shall make a man clad in a black hood fashioned in Mecka cut your un-blessed head of. Do you, in your wisdom bring good news?
Aide: I bring news, oh sultan, as inscrutable as the arabic night, which is black as the coffee, the awakener of men. I bring the most horrid news of a
dream that I had this dark, inscrutable night.
Sultan: Strange are the ways of Allah, He definately moves in mysterious way, oh aide, for I, also had a dream this night.
(OOC: Not worksafe)
Sultan: NO, YOU FOOLS! NOT THAT! CUT! CUT!
Construction workers: Sorry.
Sultan: Do not be sorry, or the evil curses of the djinn will fall upon thee, you must be more effecient, so that your coffee will always prosper.
Construction workers: Sorry.
Sultan: Where were we?
Aide: You were about to tell us about your dream, oh, great sultan.
Sultan:
Oh, well, here goes.
Aide: Oh, great sultan, in their wisdom, these dreams are horrible, what are we to do?
Sultan: Oh, Aide, I fear that we must call in the court atrologists.
Astrologist: And the Astrologist said unto Sultan, The dream of Sultan is one: God hath shewed Sultan what he is about to do.
The seven good kine are seven years; and the seven good ears are seven years: the dream is one.
And the seven thin and ill favoured kine that came up after them are seven years; and the seven empty ears blasted with the east wind shall be seven years of famine.
Sultan: OK, who ressurected Joseph?
Aide: I didn´t...
Sultan: Oh, aide, I just came to think of something.
Aide: What?
Sultan: We have breeched etiquette in the most barbaric manner. You know what that means?
Aide: NO! Not... that!
Sultan: Yes, UNREST IN EGYPT!
