The Topless Car Wash update:
OK...what happened was that some undergrads happened to notice that a local nudity law requires one to cover only "the genitals" while in public. Thus, breasts were unleashed, the carwash was opened, bare-chested men joined in, and the happy co-eds asked only for donations as they merrily soaped up the cars. Neighbors complained. Then, a local carwash owner, self-described as an upstanding business man who was losing business to the topless intruders, took his plight to the city council. The council members debated such things as how much cleavage was acceptable and whether or not the entire nipple area should be covered, and whether or not the nipple should be covered with a strap, suspenders, or something else. Meanwhile, the landlord evicted the kids for not paying their July rent, because despite their popularity, the topless car wash did not generate the $800 needed for rent. Alas. Their apartment was described as "commune," which I found amusing.
