Fatty had a pretty funny Lebanese joke.
In Davis, where fatty's family lives the water is bad so almost everyone gets these big bottles of water to drink. Every strip mall and grocery has a water place. Outside every business is this ridiculous California inspection permit that supposedly vouches for the quality of the water. I don't remember the guy's name, but he was Lebanese and they called him something funny like "Sammy."
So fatty gets out there, sees this racket and tells Baba who then retold me the same story in his funny Baba way:
"Shwan said to me: 'Baba, Sammy cheating you! Where he get water? From same place! Then he mark it up and sell it.' [Then he says as an aside] you know Sammy Lebanese. Cheaters."
