Since it is Sunday; just another ordinary, normal, non-important day; here is another one of my favorite Bible quotes. From Gen. 38:15-16:
"When Judah saw her, he thought her to be a harlot; because she had covered her face. And he turned to her by the way, and said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee; for he know not that she was his daughter-in-law."
You'd think the Bible would've just edited out all of the misconceptions involving veils, considering how many times people accidentally have sex with the wrong person in this book. Pesky veils, and now our only excuses are ... like ... alcohol, right? And being out of town so it doesn't count?
Of course us Americans don't realize the kind of impact a veil can have on a relationship. Our women are free to just walk around with their faces flapping in the wind, exposing their identity to the world. You have to hand it to the countries where women still wear veils: it must be a lot easier to write sitcom episodes that revolve around wacky cases of mistaken identity.
Note that the frisky slut above is the same slut (Tamar) who got to witness Onan being slain by the LORD for coitus interruptus. Getting right back on that horse, Tamar! Only instead of a horse, it's Judah--Onan's dad. Score!
If you don't think that's hot, you've ... never been to a really drunk family reunion where everyone's wearing veils and no one is aware it's a family reunion.
