Pretty amused by that when I saw it too :D

I'm surprised there weren't more notable ones from Florida though :lol:

The one that tickled me the most was "A man asked Consular staff in Dubai to meet his dog on arrival at customs and help the dog through the customs process, as he would be on holiday when the dog arrived." :blink:
