The Bitch Is Back

|


For years, Lois Tobin has given out T-shirts and other mementos with her bar's name—The Bitch's Corner Bars—to customers. But when she replaced her outside sign, which had read simply Corner Bar, with the full name, Lingle, Wyoming, police came calling. They gave Tobin a citation for violating the town's obscenity ordinance. She faces a $200 fine. But her attorney says she will fight the citation. "'Bitch' is not a profane or obscene word so far as I can determine," said Jerry Smith.
