I Like Them Both
Published in Almasry Alyoum on 06 - 07 - 2009

Whoever sees Egyptians' fridges will have no more doubts that the world is on the verge of wars for water. Three quarters of these fridges are water and the other quarter is air.
As for me, I like both water and air. I personally have a fridge with two doors: a front and a rear one. It screams day and night. The agency told me it does so because it's empty. They advised me to pretend to wrap things and put them in the fridge to keep it quiet.
However, they later advised me to sell it to someone who could take advantage of it, provided that they had something to put into the fridge.
I asked him about the price and he said: "Look, the government sold a boiler company on a 32 acre land for just LE 80 million. This fridge is not 32 acres wide, but just four feet, like a lamb. No way can this fridge work for a long time, it's more than 20. Besides, those boilers are hot, while your fridge is cool."
He then asked if he could have a look at my fridge at home. When he opened it, he quickly closed it grumbling: "Oh, God."
My wife – a credit manager of an NGO - whispered to me he was saying "Oh, Lord" for two reasons. One, he thought there might be a woman changing her clothes inside the fridge whom perhaps heard him and hid.
 Two, perhaps he smelled the stink of a dead body, that's why she told him in an apologizing tone: "By the way, the electricity has been off for an hour or so, so the products in there may have rotten."
That man, though, said disgusted: "This fridge can only be opened by order of the Prosecution."
My wife, who is a credit expert, looked at him and said to him: "You shouldn't blame me for my fridge; you should instead blame those foreigners who are filing complaints against you because you took bribes from them to give them that company for peanuts."
I asked her to calm down, but she looked like she was letting off steam (speak of boilers...). She said: "This fridge has two doors. One is for water and the other speaks about transparency, fairness and purity."
