Hawaiian tryin’

You gotta hand it to the Honolulu City Council.

At least they tried to ban smelly people from city buses.

The new law was aimed at morons, I mean people, who have “odors that unreasonably disturb others or interfere with their use of the transit system.”

This is entirely fair. But the ACLU — who else? — raised a stink, so the plan was canned.

Good grief. Not only is this stupid, it also jeopardizes other efforts to stop fat people from wearing tight shorts, hairy people from wearing tank tops and anyone from wearing T-shirts bearing the likeness of Danny Bonaduce, Snoop Dogg or Calvin Coolidge.

So sad. Some day Hawaiians will look back and wonder what happened to their tropical paradise.

Maybe they could let bus drivers carry a can of deodorant and give a quick spritz to anyone who needs it.

They could call it “Don’t ask, don’t smell,” and everyone would be happy. Aloha.
