-Suits: LL 5 000 each (about $3.3)
-Shirts: LL 2 000 each (about $1.3)
Trousers: LL 2 500 per pair ($1.6)
One says to his pal.
"Hey, Look!
These Lebanese must be stupid.
We could buy a whole load of those, and when we get back to Homs,
we could make us a fortune! "Now listen up.

they might try to rip us off. I'll be given them my best Lebanese accent."
They go in and the guy says, "Excuse me sir, I'll take 50 of your
fine suits at LL 5 000 each, 100 shirts at LL
2000 each, and 50 pair of trousers at LL 2 500 each.
