Problem/Solution

A female Muslim employee of Disney wants the right to wear the Hijab at work. Why not simply give her a Mickey or Minnie Mouse costume, then she can work at Disney in a customer facing role yet still manage to preserve her modesty in accordance with Islamic law?

Exactly!

I came up with that idea when I saw all the women at Disneyland Paris wearing burkas, hijabs etc. Why not give them Minnie Mouse masks to help them get into the spirit of things?

Although don't ask them to dress as the three little pigs.

I know, but the time I accidentally set off a war between Switzerland and Costa Rica is always held against me.

Neither of those two countries has a [standing] army.

Yeah that's what made it so impressive on my part. The Swiss can recall the Swiss Guard from the Vatican.

Heh!

You're dry wit is worthy of worship, Ross.

Maybe we should craft a mask?
