Men barred from selling women's lingerie
 The Saudi labour ministry has warned shops selling lingerie that from June it will begin inspections to ensure men are not serving customers. Shops that fail to comply will face fines.
Once the shops have female staff in place men will also be barred from entering.
| 'cause they might not be able to control themselves, and they'll have to go shoot off ... their guns. |
The government is struggling to implement a decree issued more than a year ago aimed at providing more jobs for women. A recent survey in the Red Sea city of Jeddah found that of 247 shops selling lingerie and beauty products only three employed women.
| And just what were those three doing outside of their homes? |
Most of the men working in the shops are thought to be Lebanese.
| You certainly wouldn't expect a Saoodi male to soil his hands with work, would you? |
