I worked for the City of Elko Planning Department for a few years. It was an eye-opening experience when we revised our city brothel ordinance.

Did you know in some brothel counties, the “girls” can only leave the brothels during their monthly periods? And during that time frame, they have to leave town and may not “poach” customers from their brothels? Yep. It is what it is.

Mine too. I think also whoever wrote this either had a sense of humor or thought it a good joke. God forbid they make a new code 6969 Prostitute.

However working with old systems I think I can grok where they are coming from.

“… any one of the proposed codes might be appropriate depending upon one’s position…”
Perhaps depending upon your favorite position with a particular employee, anyway
