In an obvious wala 'yan sa lolo ko smackdown to this blog's "Consular Query of the Day" feature, the UK foreign office just rolled out the latest in its "ludicrous inquiries/bizarre demands" series. Among their greatest hits:
- A man asked a consulate in Greece for information on how to go about putting a chicken coop in his garden
- A national pleaded for assistance translating "I love you" into Hungarian
- Complaints were filed over the quality of plastic surgery, and a jam that would not set.
- A man called to say he was stranded at the airport by his dominatrix.
- A request was made to get someone to throw a coin into the Trevi fountain for them, because they forgot while they were on holiday, and they want their marriage to succeed.
Well played dear sirs, well played. But I've said it before and I'll say it again -- that's the difference between other foreign services and ours: we WOULD have helped out a guy who lost his false teeth.
Assistance-Tooth-Nationals!
