You have two cows...
2006-01-07
...Arabian style! (via Chapomatic via Daily Pundit)
EGYPTIAN SYSTEM:
You have two cows. Both are voting for Mobarak!

DUBAIAN SYSTEM:
You have two cows. You create a website for them and advertise them in all magazines. You create a Cow City or Milk Town for them. You sell off their milk before the cows have even been milked to both legit and shaddy investors who hope to resell the non-existent milk for a 100% profit in two years' time. You bring Tiger Woods to milk the cows first to attract attention.

QATARI SYSTEM:
You have two cows. They've been sitting there for decades and no one realizes that cows can produce milk. You see what Dubai is doing, you go crazy and start milking the heck out of the cows boobs in the shortest time possible. Then you realize no one wanted the milk in the first place.

SAUDI SYSTEM:
Since milking the cow involves nipples, the gov't decides to ban all cows in public. The only method to milk a cow is to have a cow in on one side of the curtain and the guy milking the cow on the other.

BAHRAINI SYSTEM:
You have two cows. Some high government official steals one, milks it, sells the milk and pockets the profit. The gov't tells you there is just one cow and not enough milk for the people. The people riot and scream death to the government and carry Iranian flags. The Parliament, after thinking for 11 months, decide to employ ten Bahrainis to milk all the cows at the same time so cut back on unemployment.

LEBANESE SYSTEM:
You have two cows. One is owned by Syria and the other is controlled by the government.

YEMENI SYSTEM:
You once had a cow.
But then it got kidnapped.

051229L2132: guys, thanks for your contributions, we can make an encyclopedia of the Arab version of "two cows" here!, thanks to the Religious Policeman for the Yemeni cows, and anons for the ones below (if you want to be credited, declare your names or register!!

KUWAITI SYSTEM:
Upon hearing how popular cows are in the Gulf region, a group of young male Kuwaitis buy a herd. Unfortunately, they attach so many accessories (ski-racks, 3500 watt sub-woofers, nipple lights, etc) that the cows almost collapse under the weight and/or embarrassment. The herd are all tragically killed in a massive pile-up whilst their owners are attempting to perform donuts by the Towers.

IRAQI SYSTEM:
The British Government sends in a herd of 20 cows in a trial run to help a village outside Basra. The villagers are extremely grateful for the extra milk and the health of the children improves daily. A terrorist group then kidnaps the cows and accuses them of being traitors to “the cause” (whatever that is). The terrorists then produce signed confessions from the cows and systematically assassinates each one of them in front of Al Jazeera television cameras.

OMANI SYSTEM:
You have three cows, they are all healthy and produce good quality milk for sale at the market. Unfortunately, your son discovers that the money he received at the market can be used to buy beer. Your grand expansion plans for a new high-tech farm are put on hold indefinitely.

#5  The "Palestine" System

You have two cows. The female has exposed nipples, so she is stoned to death. After blaming the Jooos for the lack of milk, you strap explosives to the male and send it into Israel. You ask the UN for money to buy more cows and explosives.

#3  The Bangladesh "System"
There are two cows hiding in the upazila. The RAB finds out after a remanding of the usual dacoit. An unfortunate crossfire happens at 3 AM while attempting to recover the milk.

#2  ROFL! I was always fond of two cows analogies! There's probably no better shorthand way to describe workings of each political/socio-economic system.

#1  LOL. Well done and spot-on. I especially enjoyed and recognized the Dubaian, Saudi, Bahraini, and Kuwaiti "systems" as deadly accurate, lol. Truth.
