Yesterday at work I was so popular because....

Usually when I go to Court I say hello to between 50-00 people I know, having a conversation with about 10-15 of them. Yesterday I had to say hello to about 250 people and have conversations with about 50, some of them happening 2 -3 times. Tough to get any work done. Why you ask? In a skin tight dress, high heels and from what I saw when she bent down to pick up a pen, there she was, one of Providence's finest, there for moral support for a vanilla friend representing herself in a custody matter. I've seen her for a couple of years, never got a dance or spoken to her, but over she comes and she says she thinks she knows me from work, but I look different in a suit. Of course she wants free advice for her friend, but that's fine as I am there anyway. Long day so we end up spending 5 hours chatting. In that time every single person in the Courthouse is now my best buddy and comes over to talk. My greatest fear? They would literally drool on her. It was funny, yet sad because it was so damn obvious. Guys have all the subtlety of a bag of rocks. Her friend did ok before the Judge and I was offered my choice of two free lap dances, or a paid room with a free bonus. No, I didn't ask what the bonus was. My question: Have any of you ever interacted that long, in public, with a dancer and if so, were you around people who know you?
Got something to say?

It’s the folks who concoct some bizarre story - just to get a peek at some titties - who annoy me.
I don’t want to develop a model to determine interest rate fluctuations and their relationship to movements in a disparate index - just because some Managing Director wants to ogle a hotties booty!
It would be annoying if she didn’t always come back as long as I’m there. :)

On all occasions I was recognized by face. Sometimes I was in a position of (mild) power over these people due to my role as a prosecutor at the time. I can honestly say, I played it by the book every time. (In fact, it's kind of nice to HAVE "book" by which things are supposed to be played, for occasions like those, because then you don't have to figure out how to "think fast" and instead you can just do "what you're supposed to do" in a rote and unthinking manner.) I never breached my professional integrity, never broke an ethical rule, never treated any of them unreasonably well or unreasonably poorly or, in fact, in any manner differently than I would have treated someone whom I had not recognized, never tried to gain benefit from my ironic position. But it always gave me a shock and I always had to take a deep breath and back off for a while afterwards. One occasion gave me heebie-jeebies harsh enough that I went out of my way to (legally!) get pictures and further background information about one of the individuals. Aside from that one, the other people were friendly about the situation(s).
Still, makes ya wanna go "hmmm" ...
First version (from first paragraph above) "but I have observed several street-walkers get arraigned for prostitution and if I looked close I could recognize them from strip clubs around the area. I have seen one of the someone-who-does-stuff type of male employees at the courthouse as well, "
Better version: "I have observed several women get arraigned for street-walking type prostitution, and when I looked close I recognized some of them from the strip clubs around the area(s) of their supposed crimes. Also, I have seen one of the male employees of a strip club (he seems to be a Someone-who-does-stuff-at-the-strip-club a.k.a. Jack-of-all-trades type employee) at the courthouse as well,"

Then I realized it would be every day, and the reasons would be too many to list.
