Saudi family discovers maid is a dude

RIYADH: For seven months "she" cleaned the house, served tea to guests and even looked after their children. But when it was time to go back home, a Saudi family in the capital were in for a surprise: Their maid was in fact a guy. 

The Arabic daily Al-Jazirah reported on Sunday that a Saudi family who employed a housemaid from the Philippines did not realize that the woman who had been serving them for seven months was a man.

"No one in the family had any doubts about the gender of the housemaid. She had smooth skin and had a beautiful face. She would not mix with men in the family," the newspaper said. 
 Call me crazy, but I say they should have known.

  1. Come on Pasto! Don't be naive !

    You are a man of the world !
    You know, that these Pafainas come from the Philippines, equipped with documents, recommendations, credentials and if necessary even diplomas that prove them to be professional "Cuchinellas" !
    They are IMPORTED for this purpose !
    I don't know what went wrong... may be a curious kid wanted to see what under the Burka...or may be the kid was TOO BEAUTIFUL !...

    Normal, diligent, loyal and hard working Housemaid could be found much nearer for half the price and no language barrier !

    IN GAZA ! And they need this jobs so much !!!

  3. ah no, sorry. In my own little neck of the woods I've taken to referring to Obama as The Emperor when I post in my local newspaper. For some reason, that tends to irritate the liberals, especially when I close with "and the Emperor still has no clothes" :)
