Buff and Polish

Glen Jarvis was bored by his job working with computers, so he decided to go out on his own. His new company, “Butler in the Buff”, charges $15 an hour for Jarvis to clean houses in Kansas City, Mo., in the nude. Customers may watch, but Jarvis makes it clear that he’s only there to clean. Meanwhile, a new business in Portland, Maine, “Rent-A-Husband”, is available “for those jobs that never get done.” Owner Kaile Warren Jr. says the name “gives handymen an identity. Nobody can remember Jones Construction.” And while all the rental husbands so far are male, “I think it would be neat to have female husbands,” he says.
