I've been talking about the morons we get driving here in Dubai, but here's a reminder that we don't have exclusivity.
There's an AP report that tells us:
A grandmother has been arrested for driving around the parking lot of a Florida grocery store with a three -year-old child sitting on the roof of the car.
Monroe County Sheriff's Office deputies were called to the Publix store Tuesday and arrested a 54-year-old woman after she was driving around with her three-year-old granddaughter on the roof of her car.
The woman said she would never let anything hurt her granddaughter. She says she was driving at "snail-speed" and holding the child's leg.
Authorities say the woman told police she was giving the child some air and letting her have fun.

Ex resident of the UAE possibly??
h it's at snails speed! nd she was holding a leg! the most that would happen is she'd have just a leg in her hand, while the rest would be splattered on the ground. not a biggie.
Another one for the Darwin Awards! I say let her carry on!!
the other day i saw a car on SZR where 2 kids had almost half their bodies out of the window. Apparently enjoying the breeze!!! I just could not believe this was happening.
I remember going to the Kruger National Park in South Africa with my folks.... We were in a Volkswagon microbus so it was nice & high & the windows were plenty big enough to hang out of.
We'd stopped at a lion kill - a whole pride of lions around an impala.... and my mom was totally freaking out that my brother & I were sitting on the window ledge with the top half of our bodies outside the bus. Like those lions were even giving us a second glance with all that bloody impala being ripped apart a few meters away on the ground....!
