Multi-Billion Dollar Agreement Signed With Oman
NICHOLAS, correct you are, but never forget that follow-up celebration called Eid al-Fitr, which immediately follows Ramadan and officially "breaks the fast". I haven't consulted my Koran recently, but I believe it lasts three additional days. (Following "the big one"--- Ramadan). My advice to Frank (Drohan,not Sinatra) is to have the Omani's responsible for signing the DA to heed an expression by one of our own "signers", that being none other than the great Philadelphia Founding Father---Benjamin Franklin--- when he proclaimed "Eat not to dullness ; drink not to elevation. You "gotta" keep an eye on those guys coming off of that one month of fasting. They might go way overboard and not be able to hold the quill---er I meant pen, or even see the DA!-----As always, concerned, ----Bill.---- P.S. Ben's advice need not be heeded at the upcoming "gala" in NYC---as long as you're not driving afterward.
