- It's interesting you should mention this. Just a few weeks ago
- there was a big stink in one of our neighboring Albama municipalities
- (that's Huntsville, Al., Rev. Bob's neck o' the woods) over the
- production of Oh, Calcutta. Seems the towns leading citizens were a
- might upset at the thought of nekked folks on stage. Well, the most
- humorous thing about is that Huntsville is home to one of the largest
- porno shops in the U.S. (or so it claims). It's also home to more
- "Go-go's" than I think I've evr seen. Seems if it ain't sleazy or
- underhanded the founding fathers can't handle it.
- Sorry, to slice yer home town Bob, but the whole situation has
- struck as just outrageous.
