Gitchie, Gitchie, Ya Ya Here

So a guy walks into a brothel and asks his wife what she's doing there. Really.

WARSAW (Reuters) - A Polish man got the shock of his life when he visited a brothel and spotted his wife among the establishment's employees.

Polish tabloid Super Express said the woman had been making some extra money on the side while telling her husband she worked at a store in a nearby town.

"I was dumfounded. I thought I was dreaming," the husband told the newspaper on Wednesday.

One could ask the obvious question here: what was the guy doing in the brothel in the first place? The couple are getting a divorce, by the way. (Ed Morrisey also posted about this item this morning, invoking the Pina Colada Song. Which I loathe, but Ed has the right idea. I thought Lady Marmalade was a good fit. Billie Holiday's Love for Sale would have fit nicely, too.)

Since we're on the subject of somebody being where they aren't supposed to be, there is also this item: Several women jumped a fence and violated the 1,000 year ban on females from the Mount Athos monastic community in Greece. They were protesting as part of a land dispute.

The Greek Orthodox community of 20 monasteries on the Mount Athos peninsula in northern Greece has been off limits for women since it was set up more than 1,000 years ago and is regarded as Orthodox Christianity's spiritual home.

"About 10 women jumped the fence marking the border of the community on Tuesday and spent some 20 minutes on the monks' territory in a symbolic move," Litsa Ammanatidou-Paschalidou, an MP who took part in the protest, told Reuters.

"I felt the need to join them and I did," she said.

The demonstrators, some 1,000 in total, were opposing claims by five of the community's monasteries to some 20,000 acres of land on the nearby Halkidiki peninsula, among the most popular tourist destinations in Greece.

The demonstrators, among them local mayors, deputies and residents of various Halkidiki villages, say the land belongs to their villages and not to the monasteries.

It isn't the first time I've posted about Mount Athos, by the way. They held a Christmas Brawl there back in 2006.
