Willy has been thinking about hiring some household help for Mrs Willy. This article taken from Lubbock Texas which is close to where Willy grew up may not be what Willy should have in mind.

LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) -
Police in this staunchly conservative West Texas city are keeping close
tabs on a young entrepreneur's recently opened cleaning service that
offers nude maids.
Lubbock police Sgt.
Jonathan Stewart said the owner of Fantasy Maid Service of Lubbock
doesn't have a permit to operate a sexually oriented business and
officers are watching for any violation, which would bring a $2,000
fine.
But owner Melissa Borrett
insists she's not operating such a business. Customers pay $100 an hour
for one maid or $150 an hour for two maids, and no touching is allowed,
she said.
"I run a maid service," the
26-year-old entrepreneur said. "We really just clean houses. These
girls are not performers. They're maids."
The West Texas native and
mother said she started the business about a month ago because she was
struggling as a waitress to make ends meet. She had even been living at
the Occupy Lubbock encampment near Texas Tech University's campus in
Lubbock.
"I just decided to go a little bigger, work a little smarter," she said.
Her business model isn't
unique, but the city's ordinance requires all sexually oriented
businesses to apply for a permit, which costs $650 a year, and to post a
$5,000 surety bond or letter of credit.
Such businesses are defined
as any commercial venture whose operations include "providing,
featuring or offering of employees or entertainment personnel who appear
in a state of nudity, seminude or simulated nudity and provide live
performances or entertainment" intended to sexually stimulate or gratify
customers "and which is offered as a feature of a primary business
activity of the venture."
Stewart wouldn't say how
police planned to keep tabs on the maid service, and Borrett said she
would hire an attorney to fight any attempt by the city to shut her
down.
So far, Borrett said,
business has been good and she is now busy interviewing to hire more
maids. She currently has three on staff. She offers a regular discount
to government employees and law enforcement, and an ad posted Friday on
the online bartering site Craigslist offered 20 percent discounts for
Easter weekend.
If requested, the maids would clean fully clothed, but the cost is the same.
"It is kind of pricey, but we're fantasy maids," Borrett said.
