"never have so few done so much for so many"

The Ministry of Defence has paid for a former RAF senior aircraftwoman to become a pole dancer.---- Stephanie Hulme, 23, was funded to take up the profession after completing five years' service.
Her training was carried out through an RAF resettlement and training programme which reportedly cost over £2,000 over four weekends.
The move has allowed her to pursue a career as a pole dancer at a club in London.
Training bill
Miss Hulme, who spent time as a senior aircraftwoman at RAF Aldergrave near Belfast, filled in an application form towards the end of her service stating that she wished to take up a course in pole dancing.
She told the Mail on Sunday: "I got the idea after a bit of banter with one of my mates and when I decided to leave I started looking into what it involved.
"Then one of my friends said I should ask the MoD to pay for the training.
"I was very surprised when it was approved - I didn't think it would be."
According to the paper, the bill for her training came to £2,100 and it was met under the RAF's resettlement programme.
Under MoD regulations, servicemen and servicewomen are entitled to retraining through a grant programme after they have completed five years' service.
A spokesman added: "The point of making this grant available is to improve their employment opportunities once they complete their service.
"What they choose to do is a matter for them as long as it is legal."
Miss Hulme now pole dances under the professional name Kitty at a club in Mayfair called For Your Eyes Only.

Sounds good to me...G.I. Bill...
I am surprised that didn't teach her to be a strumpet.
Pix, please. I hope this money isn't going to waste.
That's NIIIICE!

You need to be trained to gyrate nakked ?
Well shucks. I guess I'm going to have to open me up a school so I can hire a few teachers and then charge the students. This will require a lot of supervision and perhaps even hands on management I guess.......
When Stephanie at Heav'n's command
Arose from out the sleazy stage;
The bumps and grinding well in hand,
And leering patrons sang this strain;
Pole, Britannia! In undulating waves:
Britons never will be slaves.
Tart. The word is tart.
Strumpets are what you have with tea, I guess...
You have to be damned ugly if a club wont have one of the girls working there teach you to pole dance for free.
It's not just a job, it's an adventure...
Maybe if more wifes learned to dance for their husbands, we could get this occupation out of the gutter.
Dancing for one's spouse has been a sensuous act for thousands of years. Seems so many complain, when they could create the same atmosphere in the home, IF they wanted to.
I enjoy watching ladies dance. For me it's more interesting when they are NOT naked. I also LOVE music.
By the way. That first photo of the red skirt looks like a guy's legs.
