Strangest Gifts You've Given a Stripper?
Monday, September 21, 2009 2:53 PM
I've given How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie, a dictionary, a reverse dictionary, suduko puzzle books, fresh tropical fruits, and a coconut shell bra. The stripper went crazy over the coconut bra----but, wanted the matching grass skirt (too expensive). Never gave, but should have: Resist Not Evil by Clarence Darrow, Free to Choose by Milton & Rose Friedman.
I got a strong hunch that a very nice Bible would go over very nicely----maybe a picture one for her child(ren).
Got something to say?

For one particular dancer I gave her a cookbook for her husband and a handbook on writing for her. She's one who will not be in the industry very long.
What a reaction! She was a black girl who was prone to hyperbole at times, so she played it up well and everybody around the stage had a great laugh after she showed all what the deal was. She was a little embarrassed, but she was the center of attention for a while that day.
A month or so later she asked me what kind of batteries they use.
Another one - a ride to the Wheel of Fortune tryouts at an Indian casino Bingo hall.
I just lost all interest in gridget. Never had pickled eggs, but they sound awful . . . like fruit cake, but worse. A customer, a sweet lady, insisted on bringing me a fruit cake after I explained to her how horrible they were. She says, Oh, my fruit cakes are different. I told her, Please, no fruit cakes.
She brings a fruit cake and forces me to try it---it didn't look too bad and it didn't taste too bad. She wanted the honest truth. IOWs, lie your ass off. I told the truth and she was heartbroken. Never saw her again. Hey, I told her that I hated fruit cakes.
You wont get my pants off with that. Try some chocolate and will talk.
But, yes pickled eggs has to be the strangest gift by far!!! :)
Excellent gift. I love the counter-culture, but tattoos on a *hot* woman are generally depressing.
confelicity--pleasure in other's happiness
I wasn't thinking of mileage. My motivation was confelcity--pleasure in other's happiness--and I'd say on that measure as well as mileage it was the coconut bra. She wanted the grass skirt as well, but I explained for a low income person, like myself, it was a little expensive. She quickly offered to give me the money upfront and I explained maybe I could pay for it, and save the money by getting free lap dances. That made her very happy and it made me very happy. :)
Suduko puzzle books after teaching her how to solve 'em was probably next in line as far as long term results----created a common interest equaling more mileage. Rare fruits really depended on the dancer---some went crazy and others thought I was crazy. Best fruit? Rambutan----very rare and yet ships excellent from Hawaii most of the time.
Anyway, I think the candyman aka shadowcat probably got it down pat with his chocolates.
The important question is what gift did you give that got you the best mileage in return?
Oh yes, at her insistence I gave this stripper an algebra book, with calculator, that would allow her to make her own garbage-in-garbage-out algebraic formulas to "solve" every day problems such as is it a good idea to quit my job?, should I give my boyfriend a bj?, feed the cat?, etc.
