Crazy Story.....
I am on mloa deployed down range. The other day we were at the Deid in processing through immigration and customs so we could grab something to eat. For those who have had the privilege of this experience you know the Qatari's are very sensitive and despise aircrew and our sense of humor. They don't share our sense of humor so we have a very regimented skit that takes place in order to process the line. (IE: ID card in right hand, no hats, no sunglasses, no eye contact, no smiling or laughing). A tanker crew ahead of us had a guy who looked just like Alfred E. Newman. He hands the Qatari his ID and politely walks away. He is summoned back by the Qatari cops and placed in a holding cell. The Qatari's decided to deport him and black list him out of the country because he was "funny looking". This is no joke....I saw this take place with my own eyes. He was detained and placed on the first AF mission headed out of country leaving his crew stranded. Can you imagine if the U.S. customs stopped a Qatari and deported them because they were small, cartoon like characters who lacked any sense of personal hygiene and wiped their rear ends with their left hand. The press would have a field day with that.

If the prognosticators are to be believed, we'll be energy independent by 2035. They can go back to shooting each other with Enfields for all I care.

No, I heard they were distracted by a "Ding Ding" from the back, because someone went in the Lav, right at mins...
The Captain said, "I got it." so the F/O let go, but the Capt. meant the phone. They both tried to answer the phone, but their hands touched!
Then they both spent the next 30 seconds waving their hands in the air, yelling, "Incidental, Incidental!" while nobody was flying!
