Barf in the UAE!

Readers rave: "Useless!" "Confusing!" "Willfully obscure." "Nearly incomprehensible." "Give me a break: you think you even _have_ readers? You only update this thing once a year!"

Some uncouth readers may think that by "Barf," I'm referrring to the colloquial Americanism for vomit. In fact, dear reader, I mean no such thing. Barf is a marvellous Iranian product, a detergent that makes clothes so white, they're just like barf! (Which, of course, is Persian for 'snow.') I pray for your eternal souls, you poor ignorant things.

Shipwrecked, abandoned, they sit at airport short-term parking waiting for a return, a rescue, their lives suspended, their owners long since fled for countries fair and green.



Others circle near them in the heat eying their coveted spaces, thoughts of a similar abandonment tempting them...



...as Dubai's summer descends in its merciless blazing heat.
