"It seems like half the foreign devils in the Eastern Province want to leave at this ungodly hour."
The reason they leave at that ungodly hourly is because a lot of European cities don't allow flights over them at night, so people's sleep isn't disturbed. The flights are scheduled to arrive in early daylight.
In the old days, when Pan Am flights left from Dammam headed for Houston, the attendants didn't bother with service carts, they would come down the aisle with huge baskets filled with those little bottles. People, (mostly oil field workers) just reached in and grabbed handfuls of bottles.

Dear The Fifth Column,
I AM the actor. I use the small "j" on here because I'm incognito.

Dear scot47,
The Mexicans pretty much already have them back. New Mexico has a majority of Hispanic residents.
