British cops to women: Make sure you wax
posted at 4:30 pm on July 12, 2006 by Allahpundit
Neither snow nor sleet nor all-out war in the Middle East shall keep Allah from his appointed tabloid rounds.
“Wax” must be one of those Anglo slang terms, like “fag,” that sounds untoward but means something innocuous.
Police have warned women “intent on getting ratted” to make sure they had waxed and were “wearing nice pants” in case they collapsed.
The advice was contained in a free magazine launched by Suffolk Police which officers say is aimed at keeping women safe when they go out drinking and clubbing…
The magazine includes an article next to a photograph of a scantily clad woman collapsed on the floor.
“For those of you intent on getting ratted this weekend, think,” says the article. “If you fall over or pass out, remember your skirt or dress may ride up.
“You could show off more than you intended – for all our sakes, please make sure you’re wearing nice pants and that you’ve recently had a wax.
“Bath”? “Pedicure”?
Help me out. Please.
Incidentally, when it comes to police concerns about scantily-clad women passing out in front of drunken hooligans, should wayward bikini lines really be job one?

Ah, come on. Who says it’s job one? The police are trying multiple ways to solve the problem, one of which is reaching a target audience.
This is not an area to beat around the bush.

Doing the job beavers won’t do themselves.

Nobody likes to witness an accidental ZZ Top sighting.

Is it common for Islamists to say “jump”, and the EuroDhimmies to say, “How high”?
Allah is on to something here.

Heaven help any Italian women who might happen to be living in England.

Let’s stick to the bare necessities here, ok? I just want the bald truth.

Naw… you guys don’t get it… its a Mental Health issue for the cops themselves…

I don’t know why Mark Steyn is always complaining about UK police, they’re clearly on top of things.

I’m glad the British bobbies made that PSA…whew…what a close shave. But what about the razor-thin margin of clubgoers who ignore this hairy situation? I mean, to think that the dream of proper hygeine could’ve been snatched away from the English populace.

If not waxed, what then?? Just exactly what would occur??
” Oh, look, she aint waxed!!” “get her”!! This sounds like internet tomfoolery to me.

Call me slow, but,
just what are ‘nice’ pants?
Is this some kind of ‘in your face’ problem or what?
Hair, pants, it’s hell to be a cop. Scooping ratters off the floor at the local club. No wonder they carry latex gloves and masks.

Pants? I thought the term was ‘knickers’.
Maybe the message they wanted to get out was to keep your pants on. :oP~~~

Woman is collapsed on the floor. And the big problem here is unsightly hair? Yikes.

Nothing makes me want to stop drinking more than a hot looking drunk woman passed out on the floor with legs that look like they’re covered by a forest.
The pants comment could be just a mention about people wearing paisley or plaid slacks. That’s almost as bad as Sasquach legs…

SUFFOLK POLICE: 1)Issue hair Hitler directive.
