Buisnessman Has Second Thoughts On Topless Coffee Shop

Insert Appropriate Starbucks Joke Here

MADISON, Maine (AP) - A businessman who hoped to open a topless coffee shop is having second thoughts.

Normand St. Michel said he was taken aback Thursday by the opposition that surfaced at a hearing before the Planning Board.

"I was all for it when I came here but now I am split down the middle," he said, adding that his wife also was opposed to his plan.

Despite all the criticism, board members concluded that the proposal did not require their approval and that St. Michel could go forward as long as he met state and federal requirements.

St. Michel said he had been in similar establishments that were well-run and clean. He said the topless aspect was just a marketing ploy. "Go in and eat and the waitresses would be topless, that's all," he said.

But opponents said Madison doesn't need a coffee shop that focuses on sex. Ann Harsh also expressed concern about the potential danger to semi-nude waitresses serving hot coffee.

I don''t know why? It sounds like a great idea to me. I love coffee and I love breasts - why not enjoy both at the same time?

For some reason I suddenly feel like George Castanza.

On the plus size milk refrigeration cost could be squeezed down...

sorry, wrong, wrong wrong.

Okay, does anybody else think waitress turnover will be high? I mean you spill a few cups of coffee on your chest, you''re out for a few weeks until the burn marks heal. Yeah, that''ll last long...

""I was all for it when I came here but now I am split down the middle,"" he said, adding that his wife also was opposed to his plan.

a-hahahahahaha!

Would you even want to return to work with HUGE BURN SCARS all over your chest?

Would the owner want you to? the patrons?

The answer is spill-proof sippy cups.

Sacramento has full nude coffee bars complete with table dances. The waitresses however, are mostly clothed. The dancers don''t actually serve the coffee but provide pleasant entertainment.

HUGE BURN SCARS!?
Where the hell are you guys getting your coffee? From the pits of Krakatoa?
Besides, if you''re klutzy enough to be spilling coffee all over yourself, perhaps the coffee shop biz isn''t for you anyway.
Try the Boiling Wax Emporium down the street.

""Pasties n'' a g-string, latte and a shot of torani""

That just ain''t right.

..zooba zyba zooba zyba...

Look, give me the topless girls and keep the coffee, ok?

How about a ""D-Cuppucino""?

I''ll be here all week folks.

I think the biggest risk is people ODing on caffeine.

That depends on whether or not they force you to purchase more drinks at a regular interval like ""other places like that"" I''ve been to. And then they get mad when you boot on their floor, whose fault is that! I mean really.

No milk in mine, thanks.

I have to disagree. That''s ALL right!
