DaiJB:
It just occurred to me (I know, I'm slow) - May must have flushed her uniform top at the store.
Several other thoughts now occur to me:
1. Trust May to quit with a grand exit!
2. The manager is probably having heart palpitations, and
3. The clientele lurking around the adult book section got an unexpected bonus :-P
also, 3a. If anyone had a phone, that image/video is probably already circulating on the internet...

Well, if they're like Barbie, as May's first body was, then maybe not? But if they're behipped and betitted or bepen*sed, why would human laws about such not apply?
Regardless of the legality, for a humanoid AI to run around "naked" would cause more than a little stir, and in ways the AI (who is trying to fit in after all, otherwise why would Bubbles find reading a physical book desireable (her word, "performant")?) probably doesn't want. Note that Jeremy, Pintsize, the arachnid AI, etc. don't wear clothes on a regular basis. Seven is the odd Humanoid AI in that regard - though the revamped Jeremy was shown without clothes several times during and after his transformation. I'm counting Bubbles armor as clothes for this discussion. Seven may be different because her body was fairly heavily stylized and obviously not human even if humanoid.

Well, recall the AI who piloted the EC space shuttle, when Hanners, Marbear, and Hanners went to the space station. Just not accustomed to it.
Wingy:
Point taken, but notice that was an avatar, not Spaceship themselves, and when it was pointed out, they immediately fixed the problem without a fuss. That indicates to me the desire to fit in even for non-humanoid AIs. See comic 2108.

In Canada too...
Gyrre:
Wow. I wasn't expecting Pintsize to win by such a large margin.
I hope I didn't ruin any of Jeph's plans.
