Beer maids cover up? Dirndl if we will

[Kilgor]

Bavarians are hot under the collar over a European Union directive that beer garden barmaids cover up, supposedly to protect them from the sun.

Brewery owners, politicians and some of the women themselves have condemned the legislation as absurd, claiming the "tan ban", as it has been nicknamed, will destroy a centuries-old tradition.

Bavarian barmaids typically dress in a costume known as a dirndl - a dress and a**** with a tight, low-cut top and a short white blouse. Under the EU's Optical Radiation Directive, employers of staff who work outdoors must ensure they cover up against the risk of sunburn. Bavarian bar keepers have been told that the dirndl will have to be replaced.

"This is European lawmaking at its most pedantic," said Munich's mayor, Christian Ude. "A waitress is no longer allowed to wander round a beer garden with a plunging neckline; I would not want to enter a beer garden under these conditions."

A spokesman for the Bavarian Hotel and Restaurant Union said: "I have spoken to lots of waitresses and none of them have told me that sunburn in the décolleté area has ever been a problem."

The legislation is scheduled to be voted on next month.

I haven't heard the word "Fräulein" in years. I think if you call a girl Fräulein and you're not joking she'll try to knock you out instantaneously...
:lol:

what fvcking stupidity. The EU is a piece of **** (thank god norway has voted no twice, but do you think that's put the yes side off?)

Is it true that "St. Pauli Girl" is a slang term for a whore from the St Pauli District? I heard that years ago from a German exchange student friend of mine once at 50 cent import beer night at a local bar. :P

[ibstolidude]

sinner.

you and your whore-mongering.

[California Joe]

I'm all about the whores.

[WARPIG]

I cannot convey fully the emotional outrage I suffer at this news. As an
Army brat, I grew up in those bier gartens. The best years of my adolescence were spent staring at some sturdy womans mams. The dirtiest german words I know were taught to me while ordering 2 wiessen bitte! If this ridiculous law actually comes to pass I think some form of support group will need to be hosted. I don't think coffee will be served. Stay strong men.

could be true, since the most famous red light district of germany is part of st.pauli (= district of hamburg). And since i had a girlfriend who actually came from st.pauli i would say you're probably right. :lol:
damn b***
btw i never heard of the beer brand before i came to the states. Must be connected to german immigrants... not a german beer. (afaik)
and: dirndl and st. pauli don't mix!!!

Stay the course little buckaroo. Maybe you can align yourselves with the feed Lindsey Lohan groups and increase the awareness of the importance of full bosoms. Speaking of full bosoms, where is that farmgirl? I'd like to put her in one of those outfits.....I've said too much....
