lebanese man

 

my frd. send me funny email about a smart lebanese
Email:

A lebanese man walked into a bank in New York City one day and asked for the loan officer. He told the loan officer that he was going to Lebanon on business for two weeks and needed to borrow $5,000.

The bank officer told him that the bank would need some form of security for the loan.

The lebanese man handed over the keys to a new Ferrari parked on the street in front of the bank. He produced the title and everything checked out.

The loan officer agreed to accept the car as collateral for the loan. The bank’s president and its officers all enjoyed a good laugh at the Lebanese for using a $250,000 Ferrari as collateral against a $5,000 loan.

An employee of the bank then drove the Ferrari into the bank’s underground garage and parked it there.

Two weeks later, the Lebanese returned, repaid the $5,000 and the interest, which came to $15.41.

 

 

The loan officer said, “Sir, we are very happy to have had your business, and this transaction has worked out very nicely, but we are a little puzzled. While you were away, we checked you out and found that you are a multi millionaire. What puzzles us is, why would you bother to borrow “$5,000″The lebanese replied: “Where else in New York City can I park my car for two weeks for only $15.41 and expect it to be there when I return’”

They are smart every where :)

BOGUS POLICE IN KUWAIT…

I receive in strange email about a Prob. in mangaf.

The following message was sent earlier this week by the British Embassy in Kuwait to all British nationals

email:

British Embassy Warden Message 02/07

WARNING: BOGUS POLICE IN KUWAIT

The British Embassy received a report last week of an individual of Arab appearance and dress, posing as a policeman in the Mangaf area. The bogus policeman carried out a serious sexual assault on a woman.

Dressed in plain clothes, the ‘police officer’ stopped the woman who was walking in a busy, populated area, and demanded to see her I.D. He confiscated it and ordered her to get into his vehicle to go to the police station with him. He then drove her to a desert camp where he raped her.

This attack was not on a British national. However, given that it took place in broad daylight, in an area where a large number of the British community live, the Embassy wishes to warn its nationals to be careful and asks women in particular to consider the following advice:

• Avoid walking alone if possible. If you have to, tell someone when you are leaving and what time you are expected to arrive/return.
• Carry a mobile phone in your hand (not at the bottom of your bag).
• If approached by someone claiming to be a police officer, ask to see their I.D.
• Do NOT get into any vehicle that is not clearly a police car. Say you will make your own way to the nearest police station and meet the ‘officer’ there. (Ask for their name)
• If you feel threatened or the ‘policeman’ tries to force you into his vehicle, make as much noise as possible/ attract the attention of passers-by.
• Call a friend, spouse, or colleague immediately and tell them where you are and what is happening. Ask them to come and collect you.
• Call 777 and report what is happening. Visibly note down the vehicle registration number.
• Ensure your mobile phone is pre-programmed with useful numbers, including those of the people you would call in an emergency, your local police station, and the British Embassy (Switchboard: 2403335; Out of Hours Duty Officer: 9012236)
• If you are in a vehicle and are stopped by someone claiming to be the police, do not leave your vehicle. Say you will drive to the nearest police station yourself. Then call a friend/spouse/colleague and ask them to meet you there asap.
• Report any unpleasant / suspicious incidents to the British Embassy (Duty Officer or Consular Section)

Kuwait is for the most part a safe place to live. But incidents such as this are a reminder that, wherever we are, we should remain vigilant and aware of our personal safety.
