Let’s have tablet girls instead of ‘sweet’ girls!

The period just prior to the fasting season for Muslims can very rightly be called the ‘wedding’ season- and I have had my fill attending weddings these last few weeks.

It is customary at these Muslim weddings for two girls to stand at the entrance to the reception hall serving sweets.

I would like to make a suggestion. Considering the food that is served inside, would it not be more appropriate for one girl to be holding a tray full of Metformin tablets and the other a tray of Lovastatin tablets?
