Oh, my.  If "they" are going to start fining people for cursing, here, I am in serious trouble!  Not a day goes by when, if I go somewhere - the clinic, the paint store, the commissary - I don't end up spewing off a mouthful of cursing that would make a sailor blush.  This man was fined 4000 SR for cursing.  In U.S. Dollars, that is $1,072.38.
It is one thing to get a speeding ticket on our compound - I can't get a speeding ticket off of the compound because women are not allowed to drive in the Sandbox.  I've gotten two speeding tickets.  One, right after we first got here, and another a year or so ago.  DH becomes the one responsible for my tickets and he was none to pleased either time - especially with the second one - where I "cursed" Security for pulling me over and refused to sign the ticket.  DH will absolutely positively have a conniption if I get fined for "cursing."   I will be easily identifiable from hereon out; I will be the blonde in the abeya with a huge piece of duck tape covering her mouth.

ha! I thought I was the only one in the world who said, 'conniption'!
ReplyDeleteWell, I do know that flipping the bird will get you into some hot water here. Not sure about dropping the f-bomb. Just bite your tongue!
I'm just glad someone else knew what 'conniption' means, L_Oman!
ReplyDeleteSo many times while in our truck I've lifted my hand to flip someone off - DH usually catches me, though... Biting my tongue with the F-bomb? It will be bloody in no time!
