‘Ask an Emirati’, if You Can’t Find One Ask a Bengali or a Lebanese Model………
'Ask an Emirati' on Facebook’: this is a new page I read about. But when I looked there was a photo of some guy with a contrived pose, especially his regulation silly cell phone stuck to his silly ear. I suppose it is to show that he is ‘with it’, er sophisticated, that he can use a cell phone and read the newspaper folded under his armpit, all at the same time. I wondered if, with all that multitasking, if he can still chew gum and walk.
It dawned on me (nice term, no?): this guy is most likely a Lebanese model dressed to look native, with the ever-present phone glued to the ear. If you can find an Emirati, a real one not a Lebanese model, that is, among the nearly 90% of the population who are temporary foreign laborers from South and Southeast Asia and Africa and their European supervisors. Fact is, you are more like to find and ask a Bangladeshi, an Indian, A Pakistani, a Somali, an Egyptian etc…..
Yet IF you find one, there will be a cell phone stuck to his ear. The phone at the ear is often a defensive mechanism in some Gulf states against stares by strangers or against girls (females?) who may think, silly they, that you may be looking at them and salivating (which you ‘normally’ are doing at that age). The cell phone is like a security blanket: it says I can be busy, I can be important.
I shall not get into the questions posted, but I have one advice for this model/guy: get thefuckingcellphone off your ear.
