A dedicated Teamsters union worker was attending a convention in Las
Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels. When he got to the
first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"
"No," she replied, "I'm sorry, it isn't."
"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered.
Mightily offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off
down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized
shop.
His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the
Madam responded, "Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all
union rules."
The man asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get? "
The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."
That's more like it," the union man said. He handed the Madam $100,
looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde.
"I'd like her," he said.
I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a
92-year old woman in the corner, "but Ethel here has 67 years seniority
and according to union rules, she's next."
