From today's KC Star:

"PETTIS COUNTY, Mo. -- If you want to run a business, you need to have a license -- but one Pettis County man found that out the hard way, KMBC's Donna Pitman reported Monday. Neighbors complained that a man turned his barn into a strip club. For a $5 cover, patrons could see female strippers.

"Originally there were three of them, three strippers," neighbor Adam Grover said. Grover said he liked country life, until a strip club popped up in his back yard. "We got a whole lot of traffic -- hoopin' and hollerin' -- and trash. Beer bottles, mostly. Things like that," Grover said. "I got two girls. (This isn't) the best influence."

Pitman reported that the problem was that the people running the club, located near Highway 50 and Daviess Road, didn't have a license. Sheriff's deputies busted "Ricky D's" Friday. "This is good news," Grover said.

The sheriff told KMBC that a man and his girlfriend were running the place and that they were released. However, they will likely face charges for running a business without a license, for selling alcohol without a license and for serving a minor, among other things. The sheriff said if the couple gets proper licensing, they could open up a legitimate strip club because there are no zoning laws protecting that neighborhood.

Pitman reported that the man told officers he was employed as a school bus driver."

I had to chuckle when this was on the news last night. I gotta say, the guy is just tryin' to make a living and stay off welfare. This is a pretty rural area, so I'd expect the increase in traffic and noise really bothers the neighbors, though.

Sounds like the man just wants earn a little money and at the same time bring a little entertainment to the boonies. We need more country folks like him.

Much as I think these establishments lead to trouble more often than not, there is a time and a place for 'em. OSHA would definitely be interested to know he's running a strip club without appropriate accommodations for his employees...............I just think it's funny. And they're going to let him open back up as soon as he gets licenses. That's the funny part! But then, somebody'll contact their county commissioners and bend their ear and the fun'll be over! Can you imagine some of these older farmers just out to have a good time and tell their wives they're goin' to the neighbor's? Fact is, they are!!!
