Town Wants To Ban Cussing, Table-Dancing In Bars
Officials Say Bill Needed To Keep Crowds Under Control

ST. CHARLES, Mo. -- What the ...? A St. Louis-area town is considering a bill that would ban swearing in bars, along with table-dancing, drinking contests and profane music.

City officials contend the bill is needed to keep rowdy crowds under control because the historic downtown area gets a little too lively on some nights.

City Councilman Richard Veit said he was prompted to propose the bill after complaints about bad bar behavior. He says it will give police some rules to enforce when things get too rowdy.

But some bar owners worry the bill is too vague and restrictive, saying it may be a violation of their civil rights.

If not for table dancing, cussing, profane music, and rowdy crowds he wouldn't have had a lot to offer.
