NUDITY BILL FEATURES WORDY COVER-UP

County commissioners use no "ifs" and 11 "ands" to define butts.

To come up with an anti-nudity law, they're also using female mannequins as they mull a 328-word definition of "buttocks" and 70-word definition of "breast."

The ordinance, given its first of three required readings Wednesday night, would ban some skimpy swimsuits from beaches and stop nudity in businesses.

One definition begins:

"Buttocks: The area at the rear of the human body which lies between two imaginary lines running parallel to the ground when a person is standing, the first or top of such line being one-half inch below the top of the vertical cleavage of the nates . . . and the second or bottom line being one-half inch above the lowest point of the curvature of the fleshy protuberance sometimes referred to as the gluteal fold . . . "
