Big government stomping on small business innovation once again. Who do these strippers think they are, <a href="http:\/\/timesofsandiego.com\/politics\/2014\/11\/10\/san-diego-lifts-cap-taxi-permits-sets-driver-rules\/" target="_blank">San Diego cab drivers</a>?

Could that be the start of a beautiful friendship?

I really think OSHA needs to look into the risk of severe injury from dancing in those stripper shoes. They might need to require the installation of hand rails on the stage.

Or, as Louie Gohmert might call them: <i>Obamacare for the lap.</i>

If that would keep them out of the nation's business, I'd be okay with that.

Sounds like a different dead Jewish agitator.

Do they have a club in Florida?

Somebody later in that thread said "Real George" (which apparently another version of the ad had) meant "great," "super," "wonderful." Apparently it's related to the expression "by George!" An old slang dictionary confirms this.

Ah, here's a fuller reference: <a href="http://www.phrases.org.uk/b..." target="_blank">" rel="nofollow noopener" title="http://www.phrases.org.uk/bulletin_board/14/messa...">http://www.phrases.org.uk/b.... It seems it was "popularized by comedian Jerry Lester on his network television program, 'Broadway Open House,' ca. 1950." That's for just plain "george" with no "real" required.

BTW, "George" can also mean a woman's period, as in "George is visiting this week."

<i>It is hard to imagine how these entertainers should be paid at the minimum wage, which would amount to a fraction of the $1,000 or more that some of them acknowledged they earned in a single night …</i> If this is like waiting tables, maybe two or three really busy strippers earned that much one or two nights in a given year and the rest of the time they made about $50.
