Take off that swimming suit in Grenada

Indecency.The Caribbean island of Grenada has banned bathing suits! Unfortunately, they don't want to see your bits and pieces; they want you to put on something else.

Wearing your g-string at the beach is still okay, but walk around inland with just your bikini top on? You could be slapped with a $270 Indecent Exposure fine. No shirt, no shoes, no Grenada.

It's fair enough, we suppose, considering that walking around in your swimming suit is akin to walking around in your underwear -- and they don't like that, either, the law also applies to low-slung gangsta pants.

Recently, a group of tourists who were at a Grenada fort in beachwear were sent back to their cruise ship to change. This ain't no St. Tropez!
