Proof that a Dollar still has value
From the Odd Story Department:
Exotic dancers cited $250 each in fight over $1
Dodge County Sheriff Dept. deputies were called Thursday to an unusual report of a fight involving exotic dancers.
Upon arrival at 9:30 p.m. Thursday night, authorities discovered two dancers, ages 19 and 23, involved in a physical fight on stage at Silk Exotic in Juneau, 112 East Oak Street. The fight was over one dollar, according to a press release.
A customer was trying to give the dollar to one of the dancers but the other woman took exception to it and felt she had "earned" that dollar, the release said.
Both fell to the floor, punched and slapped each other, and then each pulled out some hair from the other's head. The release said one woman involved in the fight was pregnant.
The fight had to be broken up by other dancers and customers. Neither of the women required immediate medical attention and both were citing disorderly conduct, a fine for each of them of $250.
“I was surprised by this as we seldom receive calls for service from this business, this is a rare exception,” stated Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls.

I would have hated to have been the guy that had to collect those fines. I can only imagine the ride taken by them 500 singles.

I actually have this theory that the existence of gentlemen's clubs is why we still have singles being produced by the treasury. I personally think the arguments in favor of singles are silly, and if we did away with them people would quickly not only get used to dollar coins, but would actually embrace them. Having singles today would be like having paper bills for quarters in the seventies.
I thinking the powers that govern our currency frequent these clubs and don't want to start shoving $5s in the dancers'... whatever. Imagine the fights that might erupt over those $5s!

I heard a while ago that the $2 bill was making a comeback primarily for use at these clubs!

All joking aside, these performers are probably hit harder by inflation than just about any job I can imagine. In the last forty years, inflation has made the 1972 dollar worth about 20 cents. If they work at busy clubs, there are only so many dollars they can reasonably coax on a given set. I have to think for a given set of time, a girl working in 1972 walked away with just as many singles as a girl does today. Even if todays singles were suddenly two dollar bills, the 1972 dancer would still be way ahead.

YIKES! I doubt that any '72 dancer is still working today, so I doubt that they've felt the "pinch!"

{Groan} Pun intended? If a 1972 dancer was still dancing, her earnings might be impacted by more than just inflation. My observation was not focused on the "pinch" to a person over forty years, it was more an observation on how inflation impacts that job's true earnings. In that sense they never get a "raise".

The last time I went to one of those clubs, a friend of mine bellied up to the dance floor with a fist full of ones, and the rest of us bellied up to the bar with a fist of $20's -- at the end of the night, I was broke, the dancers who got my money made a bunch of dough that night, and the two other guys at the bar stayed longer, went to the VIP room with their credit cards -- the "dancers" in there made even more dough. I guess there's a hierarchy in the dance business. The $1 girls will eventually graduate to the VIP room and make some real money! LOL
