Thongs: are they OK for community pools? That is a question that has been asked many times recently due to the arrest of Martha Sue Johnston at the community pool in March. It seems that the little tart had a string style suit (if you can call it that) under a skirt, and she went swimming in the pool with JUST THE BIKINI on.
Where did she get the idea that this was proper behavior for a decent girl? It certainly wasn't on the Godless beaches of Australia that we visited last summer as missionaries.
Is a thong OK at a community pool? Maybe if you're in Europe or the French Riviera, but not in the middle of Iowa. We have different community standards here in the U.S.A. and a justice system that's willing to enforce them. Praise!

A couple of the regulars at the pool spotted miss Johnston and complained, forcing the desk clerk, Miss Amber Johnston (no relation) to call the police. Martha Sue was arrested as she was exiting the women's locker room.
According to the Freehold register she pleaded no contest to indecent exposure and was released after paying a 500$ fine and agreeing to serve 50 hours community service.
When she complained, "but Judge, there's no sign saying 'NO THONGS'", the Hon. Judge Matthews replied, "Sweetheart, this is a matter of public morals, not signage."
Girls (AND BOYS) are reminded not to wear inappropriate bathing attire at any of the municipal pools.
