        Singapore? You ever been there? There’s a saying, "Singapore is a fine city, you get fined for this, you get fined for that. "

        They have a 6 day work week.

        When I was there a guy made a mistake and left the back of the dump truck up and drove into a bridge causing some damage and traffic jam. They put his face on the cover of the newspaper with a title that said, “This man backed up traffic for hours!”

        My mother had a friend there. Her camera was stolen so she went to the police. They kept her there for hours until she admitted she lost her camera, so it would look like there was less crime there.

        Efficient? Maybe. But no thanks.

        And didn’t France just outlaw women wearing hijabs to the beach?
