Thanks to SyntaX for the butt graphic. You'd be amazed how hard it is to find that sort of image on the net. I'm looking for the net police to knock on my door any minute. --cd3

SAN FRANCISCO -- Widely seen as the most
tolerant and liberal city in the U.S., San Francisco is drawing the line
at nude public dining.

The city's Board of Supervisors has adopted
new rules that ban naked people from eating in restaurants, and forces
nudists to place a cover on public chairs and benches before they sit
down, the San Francisco Examiner reported.

Supervisor Scott Wiener, who introduced the
legislation, said, "We did hear from folks in the neighborhood that
these are actually tangible issues that are happening in the Castro and
so the legislation is important for that reason."

"I'm not a health expert, but I believe
sitting nude in a public place is not sanitary," he said in September
when the ordinance was introduced. "Would you want to sit on a seat
where someone had been sitting naked? I think most people would say no."

Anyone who disobeys the new code will be
fined $100 for a first offense, $200 for a second offense and three-time
offenders face a $1,000 fine and up to a year in jail.

The law was approved in an 11-0 vote with no
debate and will face final consideration next week before it can be
signed into law by Mayor Ed Lee.

Public nudity is generally tolerated in the city and is particularly popular in the Castro neighborhood.
