Burqas Are Cool!

Well, I must admit I didn't expect it but a new feminist group named BAG (Burqas Are Good) has emerged and to everyone's surprise, is solidly behind Bush's Burqa Plan. Their leader, a somewhat large lady named Bertha Bulbous, had this to say:

"Here at BAG, we love our burqas, the average woman needs to understand the advantages"

She then went on to recite a list as follows:

• Perfect for shopping (or shoplifting) the burqa can easily be modified to have large internal pockets. On returning home, a lady can tell her husband she bought nothing - he'll be none the wiser!
• The baggy shape of the burqa hides the body perfectly - no more embarassment over flab or cellulite.
• The head part is a real money saver, no make-up, no hairdos, imperfections like facial or protuberant nasal hair, are completely hidden!
• Finally, the burqa has a dietary advantage, the physical difficulties presented by the visor ensures that women can only eat in the privacy of their own homes - weight loss is guaranteed!

With a very upbeat tone Bertha added:

"Laura (The First Lady) has invited myself and a few others to a lawn party at the White House, she wants to tell us of even more benefits of the burqa!"

BREAKING NEWS

During burqa trials in Florida two of the women involved, have died from heat exhaustion. After removing their burqas, doctors discovered that both were wearing full outfits of normal garments underneath! A health official in Boca Raton said:

"We stress that burqas must replace normal clothes, Floridian ladies need only light underwear." "In fact, they can be nude underneath, no-one will give them a second glance anyway"
