a city ordinance against anything more.
And in Times Square, it's outlawed completely.

And in Times Square, it's outlawed completely.And enforced preemptively. Spotting South-of-Mason-Dixoners, cops intone the canned threat (city ordinance 204876209 part aa), "Thereza beddat Riker's for youze guyze -- watchit!" "youze guyze," that is, is the permissible translation. (I'll be happy to take you on the train, Jackie, if you promise to comply) Edit: M. Fal D'Age, to borrow from TEd's below post, I think your meaning went completely under my head  . Fortunately, somes are quicker.

Charlotte has a no-tail ordinance, but they call it a prostitution free zone. Regardless of the ordinance, people who live in Charlotte tell me they have yet to find that prostitution is free. After all, if it were, it wouldn't be prostitution.
I also saw on the news the other day that Nevada, which has 28 licensed brothels, is thinking of imposing a tax on the bordellos. I was kind of surprised that they had not imposed such taxes before.
Give a whole new meaning to Virginia's head tax, doncha know? And gives a whole new meaning to the type of land ownership known as fee tail.

Did you-all know that the word door also has two syllables? And I found out the other day on the phone  that the word film has two.

For any of you who may not realize it, there is a very large difference between the way northern US'n's speak and the way southern ones do. Kentucky leans strongly towards the southern in this respect.
Cincinnati, being just north of Kentucky across the Ohio River, has a fair number of speakers with more southern dialects in addition to the greater population of citizens who speak "Yankee." Thus Cincinnati is a city of two "tales."
