Drought can have significant environmental, economic and social consequences, like death of livestock, reduced crop yields, wildfires and social unrest. But it can have some benefits also, at least for a carwash businessman. In Queensland, a strip club owner is making an "honest dollar" by opening a nude car wash that uses recycled water in a drought-stricken region. According to local media reports, the operation is an outcome of a ban imposed by the state government that bars residents from washing their own cars to avoid unnecessary wastage of precious water.

Inmates at a Kansas' prison now have to work out the methods for the economic use of toilet papers. The crisis has arisen from a prison's previously dormant policy which limits inmates to one roll at a time to stop unnecessary wastage. Under the policy, a prisoner at Hutchinson Correctional Facility will be restricted to four rolls of the 1,000 single-ply sheet toilet paper each month. Other than that, inmates will also be limited to three bars of hand soap, one tube of toothpaste and one comb each month.

A New Jersey accountant is operating out of bars during tax season rather than out of his office. Carmine Sodora, the founder of Tavern Tax, says the bar environment is more personal and comfortable and that his business is sure to grow because of the change of scene. "People think accountants are supposed to be 60-year-old gentlemen in pinstriped suits that sit in a big office behind oak desks telling you what to do," Sodora said, according to the New York Times.

She weighs in at about 200 pounds and loves to hug men coming out of bars. The only problem is, she also likes to take their wallets. Authorities call her the "Hugging Bandit" and are warning men to stay away from her. Reports claim that the "Hugging Bandit" waits by bars in the wee hours of the morning for men who have had a little too much to drink. She hugs them tightly, trying to talk them into something a little more, and then, "ZAP," their wallets are gone. She uses their credit cards within a few hours after stealing them.
