Xidho ama xoola waa!
USA Today reports that we have so many Somali refugees living in the USA, that we have to start translating stuff. First is the "Click It or Ticket" seat-belt signs. Because Somalia has no government, the concept of getting a ticket is totally foreign to them, so a translation of "Click it or ticket" doesn't work. Instead, the warning is "Strap it or lose your livestock!" Not sure how effective a warning to Muslims to "Strap it or get 72 virgins!" would be.

"click it or get shipped back home" would work too.
