In our WTF??? department….
Friday, January 11th, 2008A proposal in St. Charles MO would ban swearing, table-dancing, profane music and drinking contests in bars.
City officials contend the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.
City Councilman Richard Veit said he was prompted to propose the bill after complaints about bad bar behavior. He says it will give police some rules to enforce when things get too rowdy.
…..
A meeting to discuss the proposal is set for Jan. 14.
Hey, I’ve got a better idea. Why not close down the bars altogether and send everybody to church instead? There won’t be any worry about things getting “too lively” then.
Aye caramba.
