Man dresses as a woman to cut through the bakery queues

From Al-Arabiyya.
A man dressed as a neqabi (with full face veil) in order to be able to stand in the women's queue in front of a government-subsidised bakery, the men's line being constantly considerably longer.

His fellow queue-dwellers noticed the trick and he got a serious beating, and when the police came they decided to let him go - the beating he got was enough.

Both very funny, very stupid, and seriously sad. But it's true that some people cannot afford anything but this subsidised bread - and they simply have to feed their kids.

A number of people have already died from fights erupting at government bakery queues.
