The Ascension Parish crackdown on ecdysiasts has, as you might expect, attracted the attention of my readers.

Dale J. Ulkins was especially interested in the fact that one of 12 employees arrested at a Prairieville, uh, “gentlemen’s club,” was charged with “dancing without a license”:

“This got me to thinking — which in itself is not usually a very positive thing.

“Where in Louisiana does one apply for a dancing license?

“Does Ascension Parish have a Department of Exotic Dancing, or is it a state agency?

“Is there a written and a dancing test to get this license?

“Does the dancing test involve a pole?

“Where does one apply to be the licensing examiner for the Department of Exotic Dancing?”

Dale signs his letter, ominously, “Looking for a Career Change.”

No rush
Sarah Stravinska of Chestnut says, “One night I was at a red light behind a van with ‘Follow me into His presence’ painted on the back.

“I was behind him anyway, so I thought I’d see where he led me.

“When the light turned green, he took off like he had a bunch of red ants in his trousers.

“I figured the driver planned to ‘enter His presence’ immediately, so I loped along, content to wait until personally called.”
