At the risk of sounding like Seinfeld...

I am riding the bus yet again, and I noticed something terribly confusing. A large number of Muslim girls and young families have moved into the apartment complex near our neighborhood. That means I am riding the bus with them a lot.

What confuses me is the nice lady across from me in her head scarf, designer clothes, open-toe shoes, and enough perfume to drop a moose at 100 yards. The head scarf is supposed to help prevent temptation by us weak men, yet the au pew is belying any attempt to divert attention.

No matter where legalism comes from, people will always find a way to obey the letter while flouting the spirit.

Now if I can just get through this bus ride without chucking from the fumes....

    Major kudos for using 'flout' correctly. Most people say 'flaunt' as in 'to flaunt the law' when what they should be saying is 'flout the law'. (Unless, of course, theyre running around waving a law book over their head yelling "Looky looky!" in which case they are, in fact, flaunting the law.)
