Note to Self: Dance Lewdly at Community Center November 14, 2008 10:58 AM | permalink

The small mountain town of Marshall, NC has just paid a 56-year-old woman $275,000 to not dance at a community hangout.

To give you some perspective; this is more than ten times Marshall's median household income.

Rebecca Willis was accused of tripping the light fantastic while gyrating, simulating intercourse and wearing a skirt so tiny you needn't be at the top of a mountain to see her scenic vista.

Town officials said they'd "burn the place down" rather than allow her back into the club, which is housed in a refurbished train station, so ponying up hundreds of thousands of dollars in settlement money to not have the middle-aged filly dirty dance for them was seen as the smartest way to reduce visual pollution.

I'd tell you more but I gotta pack my bags and fly south for the winter.  There's gold in them thar hills!

Cue: music

I'd Rock n' Roll anytime I can but hubby is a stick in the mud, don't even like me to dance at home, let alone go out. I'm 52 & love to dance.
