MADINAH, 14 August 2006 — A rookie police officer at a checkpoint in Ghazala on the Madinah to Hail Road ended up thumbing more than he expected when routinely frisking a Filipino “man,” the Okaz daily reported yesterday. The police officer was making a routine check on two “males” in a car, when he unexpectedly realized that the “man” he was frisking did not feel like a man but rather had some lethal female assets. Hilariously, the rookie was left feeling rather flushed and so called for the help of an elderly colleague. After questioning the Filipino it soon transpired that the “man” was a housemaid who was running away from her employer in Riyadh and so had adopted a male dress. Both the maid and the Filipino driver of the car were taken into custody while police conduct further investigations.
Daredevil Youth Swept Away in Flash Flood
NAJRAN, 14 August 2006 — A mindless daredevil youth spurred by a bet to drive his car to the center of a flash flood, which was sweeping across a ravine in Najran, ended up in the intensive care unit of a hospital after the stunt went disastrously wrong, the Al-Watan daily reported yesterday. While en-route to the center of the flood, the youth’s car became stuck in mud and as the rain intensified, the car began to submerge under water. Desperately trying to save himself, the youth came out of the car only to be carried away by oncoming water. Onlookers and the civil defense managed to rescue the foolish youth and rushed him to the hospital.
