Sex, Violence, and Coffee

So, one day last week, a waitress at the Grand View Topless Coffee Shoppe in Vassalboro, Maine, forgot to put her shirt on when she stepped outside. It was probably that day last week when it was over 90F, and if it was, I Totally Sympathize. Boy, that was a scorcher.

Happens, that when the waitress made this Serious, Morals-Threatening Mistake, somebody saw her and reported her for indecent exposure.

As you might expect, there's been a Whole Lot of Controversy around the Topless Coffee Shoppe. Vassalboro's been dancing as fast as it can to make sure that No More Similar Threats To Our Precious Children arrive in town, and I must say that the application for expanded use made by the coffee shop's owner (he wants to open in the evenings as a topless dance club) may have been ill-timed.

There are a bunch of upright, not to say uptight, folks in Vassalboro and in the neighboring towns, including Waterville which is run, may I just say, by Idiots, who have been putting a lot of energy into trying to prove that the Grand View is eroding the morals of the townfolk, especially the children, it being Right In Town and All.

For those who may be curious, here:

And here is an opinion piece by J.P. Devine, explaining the Problem of the Waitress.

Honest to Ghu, what a week for Mrs. Grundy.
