We'll start off this dose of silliness with a disclaimer: I am not a prude.Yet I hafta wonder what possesses some women to dress like 10th Avenue hookers, including a goodly number of the female students at the university where I toil who insist on displaying their cleavage and ass cracks.
This brings me to the saga of Kyla Ebbert, who was taken aside by a Southwestern Airlines employee at a San Diego airport when she tried to board a flight to Tuscon because she had the temerity to wear a tank top and short skirt in 100-degree weather.
The employee told Ebbert that her dress was "inappropriate"and asked her to change. She eventually was allowed to board the flight because she had no luggage and therefore no nun's habit or berka to change into.
This prompted San Diego Union-Tribune columnist Gerry Braun to opine:
"Who knows where the lines are drawn these days, particularly when it comes to dress? If you watch television, or visit the mall, or take in a game at Petco Park, you'll see women dressed in ways that, 50 years ago, were pornographic. Today they are stylish."Indeed.

PANDORA'S THONG
THE ISLAMIC WOMEN’S VOTE:
IS IT ALL THAT IT’S CRACKED UP TO BE??
The Setting: a MIDDLE EAST WOMEN'S RIGHTS RALLY: an Arabic Mother & Daughter are speaking as Laura Bush approaches the podium.
Mom: Doesn't Mrs. Bush look lovely? She somehow reminds me of Mary Tyler Moore.
Dghtr: You actually know other American rights' activists?
Mom: (laughing) Oh no. Mary Tyler Moore is a TV character. She represents an ideal, a woman who works and of course votes yet knows exactly where women's rights end and "pushy" begins.
Dghtr: If you say so Mom, but speaking of rights, can I get a thong?
Mom: A what? A thong?
Dghtr: You know, underwear. Like Brittany and Madonna wear. The single strip up your bum. I want a bright red camel thong.
Mom: (momentarily thinking) ....And a tattoo to match, right?
Dghtr: That would be nice.
Mom: And all this would be followed by your Father giving his blessing for your Brother to marry his buddy Gamel...?
Dghtr: (In great consternation) Mother!
Mom: (aside) Perhaps we shouldn't have come here.
END
