If you had a million dollars, would you share it with your teacher?

Abdulaziz, the story I was telling you today in class was about the Dubai royal family. Look how much cash they were carrying. I wish I could ask them for a loan...

See? I knew there were some people on this planet who carried lots of cash! Now, had I asked them for a million dollars, it would have been a REAL POSSIBILITY to get the money (before they were robbed, that is).

This would make a good commercial for Visa or American Express. You can see it now: "If only they had been carrying Visa instead of cash, they wouldn't be in this situation today" (mixed conditionals).

Of course, I don't know if even the royal family can get such a high credit limit!

      Well, it was just their "holiday spending money," so even if it hadn't been returned, they wouldn't have had to suffer too much...

      Also, this is a good time to use our structure: This family is SO RICH THAT they could have lost millions and still not have been effected!
