yumpopink responds:

Until Saudi Arabia can come up with a cure for teh deadly cootiez, this is the only way their society can function. The West is so ignorant when it comes to other culture’s problems.

scarlettb adds:

We need to get some second-graders over there stat, to administer the 100% effective, no-side-effects, “Circle, circle, dot, dot” anti-cooties vaccine.
