To heck with the religious topics
I just heard this story, don't know if it's true and hope it doesn't upset anyone.....tongue in cheek.
Scientists at Roll Royce built a gun specifically to launch dead chickens at the windshields of airliners and military jets, all travelling at maximum velocity. The idea was to simulate the frequent incidents of collisions with airborne fowl to test the strength of the windshields
American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains
American engineers heard about the gun and were eager to test it on the windshields of their new high-speed trains
Arrangements were made and a gun was sent to the American engineers
When the gun was fired, the engineers watched in shock as the chicken hurled out of the barrel crashed into the shatterproof shield smashed it to smithereens blasted through the control console snapped the engineer's back-rest in two and embedded itself in the back wall of the cabin
The horrified engineers sent Rolls Royce the film of the disastrous results of the experiment along with the designs of the windshield and begged the British scientists for suggestions
You'll love this ...
Rolls Royce responded with a one-line memo
"Defrost the chicken first"
They say that laughter is the best form of medicine! i laugh every day
to see you have a sense of humour Pope.
I'm sure you will find some jokes about brits.
I may even have a look myself.
LOL
Goal! One Point For The Red Coats.......
Know is time to search, for one American joke on the British Engineers.
The Red Pope of Qatar Living
But as Muhammad Ali once said, 'It's not bragging, if you can back it up'."
I have actually read some of the comments on threads about you, however, it is always good to swim against the current and have an own opinion, it will in the long run as far as QL is concerned not reap any benifits, but at least you know who you are and have a wide scope of information.
Apart from that opinions about Qataris waver from one extreme to the other - good you have a sense of humour so don't blast off frozen chickens lol.
Myself being an aged woman think you really do need a sense of humour wherever you travel, because some things are just not worth getting upset about. However, that joke really appealed to me - as I could just imagine the astounded faces when they received the memo lol.
Oh yeah...apparently I am a sorry excuse for a Muslim and a disgrace to Islam. And not for the first time either. Hmmm...let's see what other choice phrases have been flung at me...oh yeah, I am a typical lazy Qatari who gets everything on a plate and think I am better than everyone...I have a silver spoon stuck up you know where...I live a priviledged life and have no idea what goes on in the real world. I could go on.
My delete button is working fine though :)
Hey, I went off topic...back to the chilckens...

I always suggest to people moving to Qatar not to forget their sense of humour.
There are times when it's not just needed, its essential.
DG hate mail? Tell me you are joking
I am quite sure you can probably laugh at the hate mails too. A good sense of humour is something everyone needs.
What are we, Dweller, if we cannot laugh at ourselves.
I'm already getting the hate mail. Whatever.

I'm surprised at you even thinking it!
Nice one on all counts, Dweller.
These were non-religious chickens be sure lol.
I just had to laugh heartily at that one, what a buch of fools lol.
;) emm...potentially offensive Dweller if the chickens were Muslims :)
