Filipino faces jail and deportation from Dubai for 'Kiss My Ass' sticker
A Filipino is facing jail and deportation from Dubai after he was charged with breaching public decency for pasting a lewd sticker on his car windshield.The dispute is a "kiss my ass" sticker, which the Filipino pasted on his vehicle windshield.
The defendant refused to remove the controversial sticker after he was reported to the police by an Arab witness who spotted the sticker on the suspect's car in a gas station.
The 30-year-old Filipino computer programmer was embroiled in a series of court cases in which a small fine slapped on him by a local court was overturned in favor of a one-month jail sentence and deportation.
"The Appeals Court considered that 'ass' meant 'posterior' and tried our client as if he committed a lewd act in public without supplying any translation. Meanwhile, the word 'ass' has different meanings, according to English dictionaries, such as donkey, dumb, stubborn or to ridicule someone," al-Kabban maintained.

About 90 students raise their hands. "Well, that's a good start.

About 40 students raise their hands. "That's really good.
I'm really glad you take this seriously.
Has anyone here ever talked to a ghost? 15 students raise their hands.
Has anyone here ever touched a ghost. 3 students raise their hands.
"That's fantastic. But let me ask you one question further... Have any of you ever made love to a ghost?"
Billy Bob, way in the back raises his hand.
The professor takes off his glasses, and says, "Son, all the years I've been giving this lecture, no one has claimed to have made love to a ghost.
You've got to come up here and tell us about your experience." The redneck student replied with a nod and a grin, and begins to make his way up to the podium. As he reached the front of the room, the professor says, "Well, so tell us what it's like to have sex with a ghost."
To which Billy Bob replied, "Shiiiiiit!!!. From way back thar I thought you said "Goats"!!
