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.

Just saw this on Facebook. Thought I'd share it here. Look carefully at the picture.

It's all those dollar bills...confused the poor teacher. Or, maybe it begs the question, where was HER mind?!  ;)

One of my favorite headlines on this topic was in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinal in 1998 although the incident occurred in Florida. The MJS read: "Busted, Man sues topless club, claiming whiplash"  Sadly, you can only get part of the story from this link:  http://www.highbeam.com/doc/1P1-19682902.html    I happened to cut this one out of the paper back then for my collection of odd tales so I think it to be a real story unlike some others Snope.com has sifted through which had details "inflated". 

OldMike, it says it was the Diamond Dolls Club in Clearwater, Florida.
