Flying shoe at Pompano Beach strip club spurs lawsuit
Minneapolis StarTribune (aka The Red Star) ^ | 10/17/08

An angry wife or girlfriend might not be the only thing to worry about when visiting a strip club. A man suing a Pompano Beach club claims a performer's shoe flew off during a pole dance, shattered the mirrored ceiling and caused glass and the shoe to hit him.

The lawsuit filed in Broward County by 35-year-old Charles Privette says the Booby Trap breached its duty when its employee failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. The suit seeks at least $15,000 in damages.

Privette's attorney says his client suffered a small cut to his eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds because of the Jan. 14 pole dance.

Is this the most news-worthy story out there today?

Not by a long shot.

But given all the bad news out there these days (Iran, Obamaniac, the federal deficit, etc), a little levity is in order. Besides I wanna see some Freeper humor.

Comments or opinions - anyone?

When Charles’ wife gets wind of the suit, I suppose the other shoe will drop.

Get the elf-n-safety people on this pronto!

We need:
-barefoot performers or at least no sexy high heels. Perhaps house slippers or Birkenstocks.
-all poles removed
-rubberized gym-mat type cladding on all walls, floors and ceilings.
-plexiglass partitions between staff and customers

That should be a start. Next up: champagne room ‘reform.’

1. She must have a hell of a kick

2. She must be wearing steel-toed stilettos to be able to shatter a ceiling with one of them.

Years ago a smart alack friend was famous for yelling “take your shoes off” to the girls. Now I understand.
