IRS agent admits helping dancers for sexual favors
Associated Press
AUSTIN - An Internal Revenue Service employee pleaded guilty Monday to federal charges in connection with a scheme to trade IRS information for sexual favors from three topless dancers who needed help with federal tax problems.
Charles G. Herndon, a tax examining technician at the IRS center in Austin, pleaded guilty to a felony count of making a false statement in IRS records, a felony count of disclosure of tax information, a felony count of unlawful solicitation by an IRS employee and six misdemeanor counts of unauthorized computer access.
Herndon admitted to soliciting private dances, dinner dates and sexual favors from three topless dancers in exchange for assisting them with their federal income tax problems, federal prosecutors said.
Herndon faces up to 19 years in federal prison.
No sentencing date has been scheduled.

Lets see, a govt official, IRS no less, pleads guilty to 3 felonies and 6 misdemeanors. That should net him a total of about 7 days off with pay, and he will probably be forced to do 1 1/2 hours of community service. Plus he must say he is sorry.

I am a QA Engineer.
I believe that there is a severe shortage of QA in Topless clubs. Therefore I would like to offer...

I had a neighbor from the Bay Area who once worked at a dildo factory. He didn't do QA on them however.
