Thread Name: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
Subject: RE: BS: Jack Straw and 'The Veil' controversy
That reminds me of the (apocryphal?) story about an Oxford don and several male students sunbathing naked on the river bank. When a punt full of young ladies came past, the studens hurriedly covered up their nether regions, but the don calmly held a book in front of his face, saying, "People recognise ME by my FACE. I don't know about you fellows."
