He was hired to teach electrical engineering at a great salary at King Faisal U., or whatever it was called. First thing he noticed was that a large part of his salary went to overpriced living quarters he had to stay in because he was so special. Another large part went to overpriced tickets to France on Air Saudi so he could get a drink some weekends.

But, the worst of it was the students. None of them ever cracked a book, asked questions, or did any of the normal things students do. When he asked why he was told, "We are Princes, and do not work."

"The why are you here in school?"

"To learn electrical engineering."

"The why not study?"

"Because we are princes."

He left after a three or four months and was told he would be arrested if he tried to come back. He told them to suck on a rock.
