Pharaoh's telling the truth, but he failed to mention whose sweat was responsible for the luxury that he enjoys.  I find that's typical of modern pharaohs, too.  In this case, sweat equity meana 20,000 men working for up to twenty years nonstop.  But in all human endeavor, the one with the vision (and the whip) usually gets all the credit.  It kind of reminds me of the writers' strike.  See all 851 cartoons on this website!  E-mail me at:  pjones41@kc.rr.com.
