Burned Topless Coffee Shop reopens in a tent
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/31203766/

VASSALBORO, Maine - A topless coffee shop in Maine is now shopless after a fire, but waitresses are serving coffee again.

The Grand View Coffee Shop returned to business this week in a tent, but the waitresses are covering up.

On Tuesday, amid gloomy weather, they were sporting sweat shirts instead of the bikini tops they'd been wearing the day before.

Owner Donald Crabtree tells the Morning Sentinel that the waitresses are volunteering their time and working for tips.

Crabtree hopes to reopen soon after sprucing up a couple of rooms that weren't damaged by fire at the converted motel in Vassalboro, just north of Augusta.

..snip

tata everyone!

:D

3. Son of a !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just came back from Maine, I have family in that area and I wanted to visit the place and it burned/was torched the day before. Now I get home and he reopens in a tent. Its a conspiracy against me I tell you.

Seriously I just wanted to go to the topless coffee house in Vassalboro, ME and pay less then Starbucks just to say I had done it.

4. Also courteous of MSNBC:
"Cup size has more than one meaning at a new central Maine coffeehouse."

Ain't they clever?

7. Give them a little credit; it was either that or a joke about cream
At least they went with the slightly less lame joke...
