French suppliers say they keep running out of the essential poles, which cost a hefty 250 euros (390 dollars) for the regular chrome model or 300 euros for the "titanium gold", which, one dealer touted, offers "much better gripping ability".I'm not touching that with a ten foot...

French women are darn cute, but they’re not much into bathing, because it reduces the, um, natural aromas that French men find appealing.
I spent a summer in Paris twenty-odd years ago, and it was very disappointing. I found myself discreetly breathing through my mouth a lot of the time.
I’d hate to be inside that pole-dancing gym right about now, the hottest part of the year.
