VIDEO: A woman bought a do-it-yourself closet from Home Depot

train

A woman bought a do-it-yourself closet from Home Depot and she put it together in about an hour. As she stood admiring her handiwork, a train passed by right outside her house. The closet crumpled to the ground in a heap! "I must have done something wrong," thought the woman, so she went to work and reassembled the entire thing. As soon as she finished, another train rumbled by and the whole thing collapsed again. Fed up with this exercise in futility, she called Home Depot and insisted they send out a technician. He arrived, rebuilt the entire thing again, all the while thinking her story about the train was a total fabrication. When he finished, he summoned her into the bedroom. "You see, ma'am, there's absolutely nothing wrong with..." just as another train passed. Sure enough, the closet fell apart again. "Unbelievable!" he cried. "You were right! Look, I'm going to reassemble this again, and this time wait inside it until another train passes. That way, I'll see what happens and be able to fix it." "Okay," says the exasperated woman. He put it together for the fourth time, climbed inside, and shut the door. Just then, the woman's husband arrived home from work, saw the technician's toolbox and shouted, "What going on here? Do you have a secret lover? I bet he's hiding in this closet!" So he whips open the closet door and discovers the technician. "What in the hell are you doing in there!?" And all the technician could say was, "Would you believe I'm waiting for a train?!"

Yes, Ladies, You Can Walk Around New York City Topless

A woman was spotted strolling the Bowery area in NYC topless. Yes, full-on topless, no bra, no shirt, just boob. Two of them. One photo suggests that the woman was getting a ticket from two cops, but some of you commenters pointed out that this lady had every right to be beating the heat in the buff.
NYPD Deputy Commissioner of Public Information Paul Browne had this to say:

The state's highest court established long ago that women have the same right as men to appear topless in public. Absent a link to some commercial enterprise or promotion, the woman's lack of certain attire in this instance does not appear to be a police matter.
Browne added in a later email that there was no evidence that he was aware of to suggest that the woman was in fact ticketed.

A woman's right to go topless in New York has a long history. The defendants in the 1992 case People v. Ramona Santorelli and Mary Lou Schloss were arrested along with five others in a Rochester park for violating a law which prohibited women from showing "that portion of the breast which is below the top of the areola." (Areola = coloring around the nipple). Santorelli and Schloss argued that the law was "discriminatory on its face since it defines 'private or intimate parts' of a woman's but not a man's body as including a specific part of the breast." The New York Court of Appeals ruled in favor of the two women.

More than 10 years later, Jill Coccaro was arrested in 2005 on Delancey Street for going topless, but sued the city and received $29,000 in a settlement.
