Some news stories are so funny there's little to do except present them for any of our readers who haven't chanced upon them. Here's one which demonstrates female Islamic dress will get even more frightening than it already is.It appears that guards at a crossing at the Rafah terminal in southern Gaza pointed out that a Moslem woman appeared, despite her veiled face and loose robe, "strangely fat." They mustered the courage to approach the oddly shaped lass, despite the possibility that she might be outfitted with an unusually robust suicide belt.Propriety being observed to a fault, lest some inadvertence result in stoning or another alarming throwback, a lady guard was entrusted to look at the woman - and discovered, to her dismay, that her examinee was actually wearing a belt comprised of three live crocodiles, each about 20 inches long.The incident sparked panic at the crossing. "The policewoman screamed and ran from the room, and then women began screaming and panicking when they heard," a spokeswoman for the European observers who run the crossing explained. When things calmed down, she said, "everybody was admiring a woman who is in a position to tie crocodiles to her body."The woman, it turns out, was wanting to smuggle the reptiles out of Egypt to sell them to the tiny zoo in Gaza or to anybody else who might be interested in owning a pet croc.As you may guess, for the reason that male-dominated and sadly regressive the main world, the girl confessed that she "was asked" to move the crocodiles. The reptilian items would be worth "good money" in Gaza, around about $500.At least, the people who trusted her with job had the foresight to tie the jaws of her cargo of crocs shut.The errant animals were returned to the Egyptian side, no doubt much to the disappointment of the lady who was smuggling them and the men who outfitted her.Tom Attea, humorist and creator of [1], has already established six shows produced Off-Broadway.
