If you'd been there when I was there and you didn't see a lady who appealed to you, you had to be either very gay or very dead or maybe both. I think there were about fifteen dancers on duty with more arriving late in the afternoon, getting an early start on the evening shift. Of the 15, five didn't appeal to me at all, five did and five more might have if the good five hadn't been there. Trixie, who used to hit me up for dances all the time, acted like I had tuberculosis so that took the appealing five down to four. Of the four, one was monopolized most of the time by some guy either at a table or in the back. But the remaining three were so fine, I couldn't choose. I finally decided to just go with whichever one of them asked me first. Carmen did and I didn't regret our trip to the back.
