Fashion Police Looking For New Careers

And you always thought the term ``fashion police'' was just something whimsical? Think again. According to the ``Oddly Enough'' section of news website reuters.com, South Korea's real-life fashion police are lining up at the dole office. Members of the unique force, who once prowled the streets in the 1970s - measuring the length of women's skirts - will soon officially be consigned to oblivion. Back then, blokes with long hair faced the prospect of being stopped in the street and suffer the ignominy of an instant haircut. But showing too much skin in public places will no longer be classed as indecent exposure and will be deleted from the Minor Offence Act, according to the National Police Agency said. Also among the rules to be scrapped are those relating to mismanagement of chimney sweeps and false accounting in pawn shops.

I couldn't possibly begin to comment on how a South Korean would mismanage his chimney sweep. I've always used mine head-first, and I thought that that was the way everybody used theirs!

That, El Tel would be a case of a clean sweep!
