just a thought - how do you eat or drink in public while wearing that thing?

next year Darth Vader will be giving the christmas speech, that's a joke by the way, but you never know - what with all these Jedi around.

From what I have observed in Dubai food courts where most women are veiled, it looks tricky. Not that I have anything against women wearing a veil, but smoking looks particularly, uh... harzardous.
