Default They manage things differently elsewhere

I can remember a sign outside a club/restaurant in South Yemen in the days when it was still the Peoples' Rebublic of South Yemen that said that "it is forbidden to bring automatics into the club at weekends". On the road from the airport into Lahore (Pakistan) in the early 1990s there used to be advertisments telling you who did the best deal in light machine guns and in the Souk at Huf Huf (Saudi) stall holders would sell personalised cases for AK47s and the like. On the whole though I'd prefer Canada to any of these (you can even get a decent draught bitter in Calgary).
