Mahmoud : My brother emailed an emergency situation. He needs $300, but how can i get cash to hime within 24 hours, if i'm here in Mexico City and he's in New York ?
Sharon    : That's easy. You can wire the money from here and he can pick it up immediately there.
M : You mean wire money through the bank? i already checked with my banks. It will take at least 5 days for them to process the wire.
S : You can just use a private wire service like Western Union and the money will be available to him immediately. I wire money all the time using Western Union.Here is a  blank form . I can help you fill it out  if you want me to.
M : That would be great . Hey , this form is for a money transfer . Is that the same thing as a wire ?
S : Yes ,It's the same thing.Fill out the reciver and recipient information here and sender information there.
M : Can i pay in local currency ? Cause i don't have that much cash in U.S. dollars.
S : Sure, when you go to the Western Union office , they'll calculate how much you'll have to pay according to the current exchange rate.
M : Is there a fee?
S : Yeah , there is .But it'll be a little higher if you want the money to be available immediately.If you have more time , you can save a little by using slower service.That will makes the money available in 3 bussiness days.All done?
M : Yeah, i think so. Now what?
S : Now you take this to the nearest Western Union office , They'll give you a copy of this form with a contral number. your brother can use that contral number to pick up the money from any Western Union office in New York.
M : Sharon  you're a lifesaver.
S : So what's the emergency ?
M : Tickets go on sale  tomorrow for my favorite baseball team. My brother and i have to  get  tickets.
S : That's the emergency ?
M : For us . it's a matter of life and death.

What the F_CK?! hahaha!!!
Indeed, for some people, priorities border on eccentricity. I'll probably do likewise for a nice cold bottle of Stella Artois and a live match between Germany and England. (By the way, unlike many Singaporeans who are avid English enthusiasts, I am a German supporter. 4-0 during the last world cup was an epic victory.)
