Ah, that’s better

The Moroccan G-string story in The Times has a much better heading this morning.
EXPOSING G-STRING IS NOT AN OFFENCE, SAYS COURT
That’s an appropriate sense of the ridiculous.

Thank God for that – I wasn’t enjoying my guitar without the vital string.
Can be used as dental floss.
Tut, tut. The woman is Moroccan, not the G-String.
How can you be so sure that the G-string is not Moroccan?
This is dedicated to the strong arm of the law:

Carry it away boys.
In other news- have you seen this? http://www.timesofmalta.com/articles/view/20120221/local/Laughter-is-a-serious-matter-in-yoga-class.407791
[Daphne – Sigh. Each to his own, but it’s always best to mind the difference.]
I see your laughter yoga and I raise you laughter train: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56cYXVniVIQ
Bet you can’t keep a straight face for the three minutes the video lasts.
Take a look at this photo. The Times have used it several times with articles regarding football. One does not need to be a sport enthusiast to notice the blunder.

Would my Spanish Guitar`s D string be offensive?
The Times appears not to have a proof reader / editor .
Page 4 toda’s issue reads “1,000 voting documents undelivered” in bold print – you read the article and it’s 51,000 – the number 5 fell off the page .
Min jaf Daphne kemm igallhom isellu lil tat-Times ghax saru qishom tal-Maltastar.
Insomma tista’ tghid pezza wahda, ghax hlief biex jipprovaw ikunu ta’ hsara u jirredikolaw lill-Dr. Gonzi u lill-PN ma’ jaghmlux.
Ara lil Dr. Joseph Muscat hadd minnhom ma’ jaghmillu domandi biex forsi inkunu nafu x’se jaghmel il-Labour jekk u meta jkun fil-gvern!
M’hemmx ghalfejn tmur il-qorti biex tkun taf dan. Tkun ghaddej minn xi rahal facli tara bejt mimli b’kull xorta ta’ tangas u panties kuluriti minxurin. Ghalfejn dan l-ghageb.
Il-plural ta’ tanga huwa taneg.
Jekk mhux tangijiet…
What about visible Y-fronts? This ruling discriminates against us gentlemen. What if it’s Armani boxers? What if I decide to go commando and expose three inches of plumber’s crack? What if I wear a G-string over my plumber’s crack?
These are vital constitutional issues which go to the very heart of our rights as citizens. I expect answers.
Quiet, because we will see Franco Debono taking this as another cause to take to the press …. the super hero who’s sworn to defend the Constitution and the Maltese electorate.
Baxxter, Visible Y-fronts are X-rated.
What I do recommend instead is this latest “gadget” from Alibaba.com.

Ooops, did I say Gadget?
Excellent. I’m trying mine on as we speak. I have checked the ponderous tomes Tal-Ligi and nowhere do they mention “indumenti intimi b’appendici pakidermika”. I’m safe. Viva l-kors tal-Ligi.
Baxxter, those law books do say something about “mutatis mutandis”, though. You sure that’s not related?
Viva l-kors tal-Ligi.
Alas!

An exposed G-string may not be a criminal offence, but it can be an offence to one’s aesthetic sensitivity.
If I were at a restaurant, say, and the magistart plonked herself down at the adjacent table, G-string in my face – I would not take kindly to the vista.
I must confess, on the other hand, that if the garment belonged to someone a little more delectable, then my protestations would be somewhat less vociferous.
It’s not a matter of morals but a matter of aesthetics.
I assume that in any village market there would be stalls “exposing G-strings” so we should be thankful for this momentous judgement.
It probably escaped the reporter’s notice but the woman had been accused of exposing her body, not the G-string.
Antoine, good on you for exposing the reporter.
