4. Email? Looks nice on a business card, but hey... nobody told us you should actually reply to it. Does Europe reply to emails? Really????
5. Planet Earth? You really mean to tell me there are more countries on this planet then the UAE along????? WOW!!!! Did anyone report this to the newspapers yet? Ooops.. forgot, the editor will have to call the government first to see if he (or she) is allowed to report this truely remarkable and shocking news.
And to finish my wierd sence of humor? A quote from a friend of mine that just got a job in Dubai
" Frans... You ain't going to beleave this but I'll tell you anyhow. Called our IT man into my office today. "Raju... You're the IT wonder in this company right? Who's responsibility is incoming email?" "Don't know Sir... I just keep the hardware running and answer questions from our head office in New York."
I see.... And what about the 11.843 unanswered emails? You don't have to be a f**cking Bill Gates to realise something just might be a little bit wrong in this company right? "I know you just arrived here Sir... But this is the UAE Sir.... Nobody really looks at email in this country." Well you so called IT specialist? As of today? Just look if the green light on the server is burning okay? I'll do the rest myself...
F**king hell Frans, talk about traveling back in time to the IT version of the stone age!!!!

Oh come on Frans

You also forgot one gem of an example:How many times you have called people up on their mobile and what is their reply rate??

"Dubai? Is like a young virgin in a whore house.... Am I so bad to use her the first time?"
And by the way, that friend of mine? Is an Arab, so think twice before screaming murder okay?
Just laughing myself sick because the USA sent a "High Tech" Banker to Dubai. The guy in question? Is a friend of mine, getting more and more frustrated by the day. Warned him, but hey... Be Dutch, be stuburn right?
I told him " Paul? What you're trying to do is to enter an oiltanker in a (commercial) speedboat race and telling the poor captain in question to win..."
Sorry Shoushou, but I've been running companies ever since I was 22, and the UAE wanting to join the WTO as a serious member? Come on... I think reality sings a slightly different song here right? How did Hilton senior call Dubai? Walt Disney's backyard? I admire what they built up in the last 30+ years, but by a long shot? They can't compeat against Europe or the USA.

The female logic lives on.........Ok....24 lines but split into paragraphs no longer than 2 sentences with a line between them. The punctuation must also be spot on!!!!

Hahaha... But? Wouldn't mind battling it out over dinner with you one day. I know, married material, but me? A typical male? You can bet your sweat little butt on that girl, and no, not ashamed of it at all.
Finally, some style has come to this place!!! Love it!!!!
