Aqua Posted January 26, 2007 Share Posted January 26, 2007 A disappointed salesman of Coca Cola returns from his Middle East (Dubai) assignment. A friend asked, "Why weren't you successful with the Arabs?" The salesman explained, "When I got posted in Dubai, I was very confident that I will make a good sales pitch as Cola is virtually unknown there. But, I had a problem; I didn't know to speak Arabic. So, I planned to convey the message through 3 posters... First poster, a man crawling through the hot desert sand... totally exhausted and fainting. Second, the man is drinking our Cola and Third, our man is now totally refreshed. Then these posters were pasted all over the place" "That should have worked," said the friend. The salesman replied, "Well, not only did I not speak Arabic, I also didn't realize that Arabs read from right to left..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

living Posted September 27, 2007 Share Posted September 27, 2007 Not to screw up the joke or anything, but Arabs read everything from Left to Right EXCEPT the written alphabet. They read numbers from left to right, pics from left to right too. They only read sentences from right to left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
