HAHA

have you guys seen "hitchhikers guide to the galaxy"? the movie or read the book by Douglas Adams? I was watching it on TV the other day and when the encyclopedia were talking about the "vogons" they reminded me of UAE folks They need everything to be done with paperwork.

FYI:
Straight from the encyclopedia:
"Here is what to do if you want to get a lift from a Vogon: forget it. They are one of the most unpleasant races in the Galaxy - not actually evil, but bad tempered, bureaucratic, officious and callous. They wouldn't even lift a finger to save their own grandmothers from the Ravenous Bugblatter Beast of Traal without orders signed in triplicate, sent in, sent back, queried, lost, found, subjected to public enquiry, lost again, and finally buried in soft peat for three months and recycled as firelighters."
