Following is a blow-by-blow account of my acquisition of an Omani driver's license.
Show the US license. Details noted. Go and wait for the eye exam.
Very officious Omani lady conducting the exams, flunking people left and right.
My turn.
"Ah, you have such a difficult job, and you are doing it so well! May I ask where you purchased the beautiful rings and headscarf you are wearing? And where can I obtain this wonderful fragrance you are wearing in case I ever meet a lady worthy of it?"
"Cover your left eye and read this letter on the chart."
(myopically) "Q?"
"R, very good, now what is this letter?"
"Uh, maybe 'N"?"
"Oh, very good, 'W'" and thump-thump with the approval stamp.
In and out in five minutes.
Ya gottta know when to hold'em, know when to fold'em, know when to walk away, and know when to run.
