-- Your phone is tapped by The Man and nobody told you about it.

-- Your e-mail is read by The Man. All improper words are made into tags stuck to you with super-glue.

If I were you, I would punk up my hair, get rid of the beard and expressions such as Mash'Allah (Thank Goodness), or Insh'Allah ( the Lord Willing). When stopped by the men in uniform caught in traffiic, just answer, "No comprendo inglés. ¿ Hablan español ?"
