Well, well..helpful as they are. I've never dreamt of travelling in the Middle East though.

I DO understand that this is a joke and is supposed to be funny. I am not from the middle east; nor is any member of my family BUT I really think this was in poor taste and rather insulting to middle easterners.
As I said I understand this is a joke but it is hurtful cause it implies that all middle easterners are terrorists and we know that is not true.
Don't be surprised if people complain

Late one Friday night the policeman spotted a man driving
very erratically through the streets of Dublin. They pulled the man over and asked him if he had been drinking that evening.
"Aye, so I have. 'Tis Friday, you know, so me and the lads
stopped by the pub where I had six or seven pints. And then there was something called "Happy Hour" and they served these mar-gar-itos which are quite good. I had four or five o'those. Then I had to drive me friend Mike home and O' course I had to go in for a couple of Guiness - couldn't be rude, ye know. Then I stopped on the way home to get another bottle for later .." And the man fumbled around in his coat until he located his bottle of whiskey, which he held up for inspection.
The officer sighed, and said, "Sir, I'm afraid I'll need you to step out of the car and take a breathalyzer test."
Indignantly, the man said, "Why? Don't ye believe me?!?"
