   Ummmmm...you forgot oil field roughnecks!   
      
   I was on a flight some years back, from Saudi   
   Arabia to London. On board were a bunch of oil   
   field hands who I thought were surely from   
   the USA. They were raising holy hell on the plane   
   as it winged north, having been allowed to break   
   open the bar once the plane left Saudi air space.   
   It got so rough that the pilot diverted to Athens   
   and landed and the Greek police came aboard asking   
   for everyone's passport. With a HUGE SIGH OF RELIEF   
   they were looking for Canadians to arrest and not   
   those of us with USA passports since it turned   
   out all the ruckus was caused by Canadian oil field   
   workers. Anyhow, it was a great chance to lay over   
   in one of my favorite cities for a night - and not   
   in the slammer either!
