Egypt
Egypt is a recurring theme for Dad, both ancient and modern. Sometimes, he is an Egyptian, other times he is an outsider. Lately, he has been a part of the army that occupied Egypt during World War II. He talks about going out into the Egyptian desert and finding an isolated group of people that are neither Islamic nor Christian. These people "worship stolen idols. That's true of them." What these idols are and who they were stolen from, he never says. He just keeps repeating:
"They worship stolen idols. That's what they do. They worship stolen idols. That's true of them."
Apparently both the Moslems and Christians hate them. These people are afraid of the Egyptians that live along the Nile and feel the need to hide from them.
It isn't clear whether Dad thinks he is part of the British army or part of the American army. He seems to change randomly. The stolen idols are the only consistent part of the story.
