And We Have Bad Manners?

Two laws need to be passed immediately in the Middle East.

The first one will prohibit Arab men from blowing their noses in public. It would be OK if they would do into a handkerchief or tissue, but, no. It's a ceremony. They press a finger against one nostril and blow as hard as they can out of the other one, projecting that nostril's contents out to the sidewalk, curb, street, any where. It's disgusting. And, for some reason, they do it with as loud of a trumpeting sound as they can. Charging elephants have nothing on them. You can't walk 10 feet without encountering the demonstration.

The second law will bring about the removal of all the horns in their cars. Oh, how they love their horns. They honk them incessantly, even when they're parked. Kuwait's streets are better than most American cities, and the traffic moves along pretty well. But man do they get impatient when a traffic light dares to stop them. As soon as it turns red, they start honking, like the light cares or will be intimidated by their noise. They look for any opportunity to honk their horns. It's like watching kids ride the bumper cars at an amusement park. Just honking because they can. It needs to stop.

After those two issues are taken care of, we can move on to other matters.
