All this reminds me of the Halloween costume fashioned by the young man I
was living with at the time: He took a huge potato and threaded it onto a
coathanger wire and suspended it in front of him hanging from his belt. He
called his costume the "dick tater".
If I were going out this year I would like to don a brouka (?) which I would
proudly wear in support of the Taliban women.
