Some time back the leading managers in Saudi Arabian Airlines decided they needed a new image.

The old slogan "PROUD TO SERVE YOU" was outdated and too often critics said it really meant "TOO PROUD TO SERVE YOU".

So the VP's decided to get together over a few days and hammer out a new slogan to show the world what Saudi Arabian Airlines could do. They convened a meeting in Florida (so they could have peace and quiet) and put their heads together with some of the best brains in Advertising. After 6 days they came up with :

"SAUDI ARABIA - YOU HAVE SEEN US DRIVE, NOW WATCH US FLY !"

Young man, I put it to you that you are with the utmost subtlety pulling our palonkas!
Even the maddest most frazzled and unprofessional freak in the whole of world advertising couldn't come up with something as laughable,insane and ludicrous as this!!!
I've seen driving in the KSA.....it ain't all that funny!

This is a good example of the phenomenon know to Earthlings as a "joke".

I expect to post more on this strange phenomenon later.
