Default Justice Restored

For 45 years, bras have been hanging from the ceiling of the Holler House
bar in Milwaukee. Then one day a building inspector stopped in.

"Harummph! Harummph! Indecent! Fire hazard! And so on! Must come down!
Mumble-mumble!"

"We've had bras hanging here for 45 years. It's been a charm of the place.
So here comes this gal, and she's walking in here like Lady Astor's pet
horse, you know, and she says she wants those bras down because they're a
fire hazard. Now how can a bra be a fire hazard unless someone is wearing
it? Honest to God."

The order was ultimately rescinded.

All in all, an uplifting experience.

Add water balloons. (or is that too obvious?)
