Overnight Open Thread

You wouldn't know it by the amount of media coverage it has gotten compared to previous election years, but This Week In History, Gas Prices Have NEVER Been Higher. Must be because a Democrat is the incumbent.

Much has been said this week that it's like 1979 All Over Again. Sure feels like it. Gas prices are high, inflation is rising, embassies are being stormed, Americans are getting killed, foreign policy a shambles, economy in ruin, etc. I hope that 1979 Fashion Isn't Coming Back Too.

The Playboy Bunny Manual

From 1968. Playboy Bunny Manual: No Dating, No Drinking...And Keep Your Ears Straight. I guess Hugh was the exemption.

One activity which the Bunnies were allowed to take part in was smoking - but here too there were regulations on exactly how they conducted themselves.

'In all cases when a Bunny is smoking on duty, she is to "take a puff" and set the cigarette in an ashtray,' the pamphlet says. 'Bunnies are not to stand or sit holding a cigarette.'

Although Playboy has always presented itself as a brand for the sophisticated gentleman, it has also attracted less salubrious characters - and the Bunny Manual leaves the girls in no doubt how to deal with them.

Bunnies are explicitly forbidden from dating customers, and from divulging personal information such as their surnames and telephone numbers - and since they were banned from drinking on the job, they were unlikely ever to let their guard down.

But the employees are allowed to dance with patrons - and the manual even suggests 'acceptable dances' such as 'twist, watusi, bugaloo, etc.'

More Full Time Employment?

I kind of scratched my head when I read this from the article; Median Income Falls, But So Does Poverty.

Most experts were expecting an increase in poverty, but Census officials said a rise in the number of people working full time helped keep the rate in check.
