Saudi Arabia Bans Roses
Saudi Arabia's religious police are seeing red over red roses. The Commission for the Promotion of Virtue and Prevention of Vice has ordered the removal from stores any items colored scarlet, which is widely seen as symbolizing love. It is not unusual for the Saudi vice squad to become stricter before Valentine's Day, which it sees as encouraging relations between men and women outside of wedlock. Saudi officials said they are studying the effects of other things that fuel lust, like being awake, the vibrations of a heavy truck driving close by and the cute cashier at the gas station.
As our unitary executive waxes Dieboldly democratic,
Inking the tips of fingers, scrawling toe-tags;
A land rule by a King,
Prefers sword over guillotine, and
Cauls over faces
Nine eleven Laden and 15/19...0.789
Assuredly a Saudi alliance
But a Rose by any other name?
Would were! Should is! Could be! And live a hundred times three.
The color red really does make me feel more passionate when I wear it and when given to me in the form of roses or whatever else!
Careful What You Wish For....
...they will be considering the removal of genitals from newborns to preemptively crack down on relationships between men and women out of wedlock. Then moving each gender into their own pocket dimensions.
