Now, isn't that nice?

I heard a radio commercial for a "gentlemen's club" and wondered what genius came up with such a sophisticated name for such an unsophisticated place. Granted, some of those "gentlemen's clubs" put in a great deal of effort in an attempt to spruce up the place, but lets be realistic. It's still a strip joint.

I have a few other suggestions to upgrade the names of a few other things:

  • Complimentary Governmental Income Compliance Meeting - IRS audit
  • Alfresco Bladder Evacuation Unit - outhouse
  • Human Population Control Organism - black plague

What a great song! Whose version do you like the best?
BTW, I'm married to a Beaumont boy. What year did you graduate Westbrook?

I see that "In Laurie's brain" is still a dangerous place to be sometimes.

I have thought about this too! Why call it a gentleman's club when nothing remotely gentlemanly goes on in there?
