"Take my clothes… please."

From UPI comes a report that the city fathers in Austin, TX, are trying to shut down a male strip club for violating certain rules governing nudity.

The club’s owner, Kevin Cox, told the Austin American-Statesman the dancers do not go beyond the topless stage, with boxers or briefs covering their genital areas. He describes the dance routines as fantasies in which the strippers do standup comedy or dress up as firefighters or police officers.

The firefighters we understand… and we understand the police officer thing. But standup comics? Apparently funny is the new sexy.

Yes, you read that right: The club owner’s name is “Cox.” You can all make your own jokes at home.
