Cruel joke

Kuwait Times recently published the news on the front page saying that from now on alcohol will be permitted in Kuwait. I thought: wow there will be life in Kuwait after all. I got so excited, my heart rate jumped. I wanted to forward the news to all my friends in Dubai as if to say 'You see, it's not that bad in Kuwait'... until I realised it was April 1st joke.
Guys working for the newspaper: you can't make these jokes on poor expats in Kuwait. It's just cruel ;-)
