I'm not big on social graces
Think I'll slip on down to the oasis
Oh, I've got friends in low places.

....anybody wanna go have a drink with me?

That you're livin' in ....... hey cuz

I was amazed at a recent story of a well known surgeon who stopped a surgery to go take a swig of booze from his little flask - DURING A SURGERY.

The "darkside" you note applies to ALL PROFESSIONS - and not just those who make a living dancing and taking their clothes off.

I have to say, and I say this after reading a number of your posts on this topic, it sounds to me that you have formed your opinions without having any real knowledge of the topic - you have taken and stereotyped the person (the dancers) when it actually may be unfair to do so.
Well said, I wish I was as well spoken.

HOLY CRAP!!

Lionking and mjb68 - I've recently gotten into coutnry music and I mean BIG TIME. Friends in Low Places is like one of my favorite songs!!!!!!!!!!!!

I crank it up in the morning while I'm driving to school. I know it's not exactly a "pick me up" song but it's so cathartic!

Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, and ruined your black tie affair. The last one to show, the last one to know, I wa the last one you thought you'd see there!

Thanks you two for perking up my day!

All three got their real estate licenses a few years back (when the market was hyper-ventilating) and they started investing in property -

One young lady recently stopped dancing, has graduated with a masters in structural engineering and has accepted a position with a very fine engineering firm. She is also very financially well off.

The other two are doing quite well too -

To answer the original question - yes, I have gone, and go, to strip clubs. After all, it is "strictly business"
who you want to hire and their ethics and moral status is totally your business. but if you believe that all that happens in this biz, is that they go dance at a club and then go to church and get their engineering degree, i have a very good bridge in san francisco i would like to sell you.
from somebody that knows far more than they would like about this line of work.

And I saw the surprise
And the fear in his eyes
When I took his glass of champagne
And I toasted you
Said Honey we may be through ~~ But you'll never hear me complain

If you're ever in Pheonix and see this crazy Asian girl driving down I-10 belting to "Friends in Low Places", I bet you can yell out "Hi Foma!" and I'd respond.
