MINISKIRTED female cigarette vendors have been banned from one local government office in Indonesia because work comes to a halt when they make an appearance.

The women have been forbidden to enter the office in Tangerang just west of Jakarta because most male employees stop working to take a look at them, the Jakarta Post quoted a local government spokesman as saying.

"These women selling cigarettes disturb the employees so they should be restricted from going into the offices," he said.

Yea. Most other countries permit their people to do quite a bit of things that are outlawed here in the USA. With this globalization of the countries it is quite evident that we are all being drawn to the social ills of the least common factor. I miss the fridge in the work offices in Sydney that contained the friday beer. And I also miss the nice girly posters on the office cubicles....

Sigh.

Yes, and the only French song about courage (of course, its set in Spain).
