I hadn't been back to the Criket in over a year and went looking for an old favorite on days. Didn't find her so sat with a few beers and watched for talent. A few bigger gals came by and I politely declined. Then, I spotted a lean, athletic brunette who's name started with an "A". I took her up on an offer of dances and made our way back. After one dance, she started negotiations. I made a rookie mistake of putting money on the table...and not negotiating outside the VIP. Part-way through her performance, she stopped, took the money and started dressing. When asked, she said she doesn't go more than "x songs". Won't make that mistake again.
