Seatbelts

On arriving in Doha, one of our math professors got into a waiting taxi and automatically started putting on his seat belt.

"You don't need that here," the driver said.

"Why not?" the math professor asked. "Don't you have physics in Qatar?"

In an attempt to get young, hip Emiratis to wear their seatbelts, the UAE just announced the Fashionable Seatbelt Campaign. It is what it sounds like: companies will be selling designer seatbelts, under the (fair) assumption that Emirati teens will wear ANYTHING that says Gucci on it.

Ten out of ten for ingenuity!
