More hijab hijinks

My friend told me a story about how she went to see the gynecologist here. She, of course, was asked to strip from the waist down and wear a gown. But she was requested to keep her head scarf on!

Another friend told me about an elderly tourist who arrived at the airport only to discover she had packed her scarf in her luggage. When she reached the passport control desk they stopped her and after explaining her story, they resorted to covering her head with a plastic bag!
