Neck of the woods


“Prosecutors said that BS, a 32-year-old American, was returning to the US on August 27 at about 10pm when he tried to check in at a counter operated by the Tunisian AA, 33. However, when the airline employee noticed the American was not travelling with his company he directed him to a different counter, operated by the correct airline. The traveller was then said to have sworn twice at the airline employee, before turning to his Emirati colleague and using another swear word to insult both of them. He then focused his attention on the Emirati, saying: “Idiot, foolish country”, the court was told. “I could smell alcohol on his breath,” said the Emirati employee. The Tunisian then called airport police and the man was arrested. EA, a 30-year-old Emirati policeman, said that the passenger was brought to him following the Tunisian’s complaint. “He suddenly started insulting the UAE and its rulers,” said the policeman, who said he warned the passenger against badmouthing the UAE, but that the man responded by insulting him too………….”

There they go again. In the UAE they love to use acronyms for people. Another story, saga, involving BS (BS?), AA, US, EA, UAE, et al.
That American must
have said something mighty nasty about the potentates. “Badmouthing” and
insulting the UAE, my eye! They wouldn’t charge him just for being
annoying, especially since he was leaving the country. Makes you wonder
what he told which potentate to go do with/to/for themselves.
