And his three 'concubines'

I am going to remember to use this one next time I am in a similar pickle..

 

I am Caliph Harun Al Rashid and these three women are my concubines. Son’t you know me? Haven’t you ever heard of Harun Al Rashid?

The words were said by a Saudi man to Kuwait police when they caught him drunk with three women in a public place in the oil rich emirate.

When the police men asked him what he was doing with three women a Lebanese, a Saudi and a Bedoun (without identity) he retorted angrily: “This one serves me, and this spoils me and this massages my body.”

The Kuwaiti daily Al Rai said policemen on a routine patrol had stopped the four when they noticed they were swaying as they walked through Al Salimiya neighbourhood.

It said a policeman who searched the Saudi found four liquor bottles with him.

“They were all arrested and taken to the station. Police later started to receive calls to release the four but the chief of Al Salimiya police station Colonel Shukhair Al Matiri refused their request.

“He ordered his men to keep them in detention for interrogation,” the paper said without elaborating on the mediation to free “the Caliph and his concubines”.

All four need to be sent back to 700 AD on a time machine.
