You know, it was an honest mistake, only a-rabs climb bridges.

I saw my wife climb a tree once, though she wasn't my wife then. My favorite uncle used to call her the A-rab, because she's from India. She was a bit insulted until I explained that his nickname for himself was The Old Fart.

He had his share of ethnic lore. Used to recite this little poem:

The Irish don't amount to much
But they're a damn sight better than the Dutch.

Meaning Germans, I assume. Of course he was half Irish himself.
