I bet he’s never been been man-handled like that  – at least not by men who weren’t wearing dark blue uniforms and badges!  If you think he looks surprised now, wait until some man tries to wrap his arm around him while walking down the street – in traditional Turkish style!

Welcome A.I.!!  Welcome!
