Well, I think they have a high placement rate, but most of those positions are not in the prestigious entertainment venues that cater to the high level clients.  Instead, they tend to be truck-stops in the middle of nowhere where the arrangement is paying the house for time on the floor and hoping to make enough in tips to make the effort worthwhile.

You sure know a lot about stripper economics... strippernomics?

  What an interesting term.  Perhaps you should copyright it before those Houston Community College people steal it.

Would that be tickle-up economics?

I couldn't read fast enough to read the entire mouseover in one go!

Alas, you can still only post on the fora once every thirty seconds.

I'm still miffed that not only do both PMs and posts count toward that window, but the 20 PM/hour limit evidently includes a separate PM counter for each recipient in a multirecipient message.

You can never know everything, and part of what you do know will always be wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing this. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.

That's right.  Assigning blame is important in these endeavors.  Have you checked to see if you can file suit against your committee?
