You may recall the story:
The fox and the scorpion stand on the banks of the river Jordan looking into Israel.
The scorpion says to the fox, "If I hop on your back, we can swim over and conquer the Israelis."
The fox looked at the scorpion incredulously and said, "You must be joking. One bite from you and I would be dead."
"That I wouldn't do." replied the scorpion, "Then we both would die".
"True", thought the fox. "OK - hop on". And they plunged into the water.
About halfway over, the scorpion bit the fox.
"Why did you do that?" exclaimed the fox in his dying breath.
The scorpion replied, as the waters swallowed them both up, "It's the middle east, my friend, it's the middle east..."
