Erk! It does remind me of Little Britain - all a bit farcical really.

Bitty anyone..?? It would make afternoon tea interesting though...You could ask all the women in the office to line up, and have a buffet... I guess it also gives new meaning to the term 'bosom buddies'.. Interesting to note that he specifies at least 5 times, I would have thought you'd know each other pretty well after the first one...Very strange this Sharia law...

Just never got around to thinking of a clever reply because I was trying to do thesis yesterday. My husband made a variation of the same joke - "That's a workplace I'd like to work at," he said. It is a bit scary, isn’t it? Sometimes you wonder about people…you really do… I knew it was a joke, Fairlane!

Most of the stuff I read is the same old thing. Also, my original post was a joke.
