At least they gave the bras back

Big Flap over bras in Montana

<snip> The agency {Montana Dept. of Fish, Wildlife & Parks- hey I couldn't make this stuff up}* recently cut about 20 bras off a barbed-wire fence near a state-managed fishing site along the Missouri River. That riled property owners Frank Cooper and Shirley Cleary, who saw a "bra fence" in New Zealand and liked it.

<snip> The flap over the bra fence began in July, when the Cooper/Cleary family held a "Beer, Brat and Bra Bust" party at the family's Missouri River vacation cabin. Friends provided bras of various descriptions, plus little black lacy things, for the fence.

{Wildlife in Montana: it's not always what you would expect.}*

<snip> "We're talking people 50 to 83 years old, all respectable citizens, like attorneys, social workers, retired professors," Cooper said at his home in Helena. "We drank a little wine, ate a few brats and christened the bra fence."

{State officials seized the day and the bras}*

<snip> Cooper said a survey confirmed the fence is on his land.

{So the State employees stole under garments from private property?!?}*

{Come to Montana. We are getting ready to celebrate 200 years of uptight white guys running around the place throwing their weight around. And girls, no matter what Randi Rhodes theme song says, don't bounce your boobies!}*
