As much as I hate to engage Mitch this is just too good.

A BRIT is facing three years in a Dubai jail after he touched a man’s hip while trying to avoid spilling his drink in a busy bar.
Jamie Harron has already spent three months fighting charges and has been left jobless and penniless because of what he called a “cultural misunderstanding”, The Sun reports.
The electrician, 27, has forked out more than $54,0000 (£32,000) in legal fees and has been unable to fly home because authorities stripped him of his passport.
As he faces public indecency trial on Sunday, Jamie, from Stirling in Scotland, said: “I am really stunned that it has gone that far.” His ordeal began when he stopped off in the Emirate state in July for a two-day trip on his way to a job in Afghanistan. The sparky was having a drink with friends at the Rock Bottom Bar in Dubai — a popular venue for young people in the Tecom area of the city.
Jamie and his friend had bought their first drink in the crowded bar when he placed his hand on the hip of man to ensure they didn’t bump and spill their drinks
