The Strip Club Incident
In 1983 the north Denver suburb of Arvada had elected some conservative council members. They decided to make it their mission to close the town strip club. Different zoning and planning tactics were tried, but the club had been in town for a long time and wasn't subject to their new rules. Finally, the town used a trump card - they pulled the club's liquor license.

Unfortunately for them, liquor wasn't required to run a successful strip club and by removing the liquor license, any age restrictions were also removed. Cue herds of happy 13-year-old boys sipping $3 Cokes while bemused naked women danced for them. The situation lasted 3 days before the council relented and returned the liquor license. 3 glorious days for the local lads.

So, how does this relate to the QOTW? The local paper sent a columnist to do a story, and the local news TV station was not about to be outdone. Channel 8 ran a story using stock footage - which showed a big guy on a Harley parking in front of the place and walking in. When I took off my helmet the camera had a great view of my smiling face.

Great!
I remember reading about that when the Associated Press ran a bit in their offbeat news report.
