« Giving the Fat Police a Heart Attack (6) | Main | Killer Headline »
If you're a resident of Suffolk County, NY, the Board of Health claims jurisdiction over your body. Want to get your tongue pierced, or modify your body in other artful ways? The board says fuhgeddaboutit. Your ears are yours to do with as you please, pierce away — but your septum, mouth, and genitals, for instance, are the board members' domain, not yours.
If only there was a parlor that could modify the meddlesome disposition of health nannies.
[thanks, Emily!]
