I'm not sure what is more interesting in this story - The fact that there's a law saying Adult Establishments have to be closed on religious holidays, or that you can pick up lawn ornaments and dildos at the same store.

On Easter Sunday, Vice officers cited a clerk at the store on charges of violating state laws that require adult businesses to close on Sundays and holidays, Sgt. Rob Forrest said. Comparing it to a liquor store, whose hours of operation are dictated by state law, Forrest said charges against the owner were being sought.

Attorney John Herbison, who represents the establishment, said he is going to fight the citation ''on the facts and on the law.''

''I'm very glad to see the Police Department has murder, wrecks and robbery under control,'' he said. ''Our contention is the legislation doesn't apply to the store as presently configured.''

Herbison said the majority of the store's floor space is devoted to material other than adult-oriented materials. Also, the majority of its inventory is nonsexual, he said. So under the law, he said, it's not an adult-oriented business.

Not really strange. My girlfriend bought this there. She tells me it's a lawn sprinkler.
