1. Dan was pulled over the other day, by a police officer standing on the road. Yes, the traffic is that slow. You can be pulled over by a man, who is standing, on the road, waving his finger at you to come here.
Dan pulled over. He thought, hmmm... I wonder what this is about. The uniformed man took his license and registration, gave it a passing glance, and waved Dan on about his day. The cause of the stop? No one knows. I theorize it has to do with the age of the car. If the registration had read 1993, it probably would have been towed and smooshed into a compactor and mailed back to us in cube form.
2. The Dubai International Bowling Center, in our neighborhood, has 36 fully-automated lanes that give you no effing mercy on foot-faults. Those robots know if and when you stepped 1 millimeter over the line, and they do not care, and they will not give you a re-do, and they will not let you start the game over. You will play through. Mark it zero, Danny, mark it zero!!!
3. "...and then the boy and his father went camping in a tent. Ok pause. Ladies, do you ever go camping in a tent?"
"Yes, Miss."
"Do you ever see insects in your tent?"
(Maryam: "HAHAhAHAHAHAHAHHheeeeehehehehehehheheHOOOOHOHOHOHOHOHO")
"Maryam, you and your dirty mind."
(Ladies: HAHAhAHAhahHAHAHHeheheeeehehehehehehHOOOOOHOHOHOHHOHO")

4. The internet is broken, apparently because a shipped dragged an anchor across several hundred kilometers of the sea between here and Europe and severed the three main fibre-optic data cables one middle-eastern region would require to remain connected to the global inter-net. Apparently they're re-routing data traffic through Asia but it's iffy. The nation seems to be on-and-off at this point. =)

One time, I got pulled over by a cop on a bicycle, inside the airport parking structure. To pull me over, he yelled from his bike, "Hey, you!" I've also been pulled over by a cop on a moped. No joke.
