Gossip I heard about Odessa

So I was chatting with somebody who had a job within the local municipality over there. For reference, Odessa is an oil town out in west Texas. They require licenses for entertainers over there, and the police department has a pole in the building. Applicants have to climb it as part of the process to get their licenses. I don’t know whether to find that amusing or horrible. Seems like a set up to a bad porno 😅
