Did I just post that out loud??
I can just imagine their union contract language:
"If stripper is incapbable to dance or hold onto a pole due to rolling on too much extasy, the owner will provide the following options to the stripper:
1) Priority on couch dances
2) Will be afforded the more prime area of customers for drinks or table dances
3) Priority on performing shower shows*
4) Full access to the VIP lounge
(*) the water temperture of all shower show performance areas must met standard of between 70 and 80 degrees at all times and be tested hourly by union rep.

Union contract? With all the usual seniority rules? Ick!
