Subject: Danger: Bureaucrats at Work

We've all read about the CIA and its security problems in the past few years. And we all know about "Top Secret", "Eyes Only", etc documents.

But in an effort to tighten internal security, they have a new classification, known as "DBR" -- Destroy Before Reading.

In Baltimore Maryland some bars had ladies known as "Bar Flies". Their job was to get the customers to buy drinks.

The Maryland Legislature outlawed this practice, but I guess whomever entered the bill in the database wasn't familiar with the term. The bill is under "insects" and described as "Bar Flies, female, HB 121".

Maryland's "Eastern Shore" is primarily flat and lies between a Bay and the Ocean. Ever since the 50's, landowners and farmers have been filling in low lying areas for construction & farming.

Recently, Maryland got a Federal Grant of umpteen million dollars to take some of these filled-in areas and create "Wetlands" -- (aka "swamps") and we call this progress.

Baltimore was a prime example of public housing. Gigantic units, 30 stories high or more, were built where once stood individual homes. Recently, three of these buildings were literally "blown up". Anybody wantta guess what they're gonna build there ?

Yep ! Individual, single family homes -- ahhhhh, more progress.

The Maryland State Highway Maintenance Division was primarily staffed by males until the late 70's. Stock Clerks wore garments called "smocks".

When women starting filling these positions, smocks in their sizes were rather scarce.

One woman requested a size 20. The Central Depot issued her two size 10's.
