You mentioned that Saeed does not pay you enough. In what capacity do you work for our gracious host?

I don't work for Saeed!

He cannot pay me enough to work for him.

I am gainfully employed by the government.

And before any of you start making fun of how government workers are overpaid and underwoked, I have heard all before.

Saeed keeps reminding me of this every single day!

I am a man who has hopes. Hopes that Saeed will be nice to me one day. I have been trying for the past 30 years, and have not lost hope yet.
