DETROIT – How bad are things around the Motor City? So bad that even Jon Jon's Cabaret is offering half-off deals.

The topless club in the suburb of Warren – where General Motors and Chrysler employ upwards of 20,000 people – cut the cost of a table dance in half, from $20 to $10, in mid-November. The dancer gets all the money plus any tips, while food and drinks generate the club's income, general manager Kelly Sander said Tuesday.

Jon Jon's has lowered prices on drinks, but business is still down 50 percent from a year ago, Sander said. She now opens the club at 6 p.m. instead of 11 a.m.

Maybe they will be forced to train for and get a decent job—something their families can be proud of-—NAH! Sleaze is sleaze.

reminds me of the literal meaning of “nickel and dime the strippers”.

Yeah, topless dancers are feeling the econimic bust. It’s deflating their earning potential. The topless clubs are trying to stay abreast of the situation, but can’t do anything to change the sagging economy.

I guess this is “tit for tat” or tit for half a tat. (thanks folks, you’ve been a great audience).

"I went to a strip club and paid a dancer with Monopoly money."

"'Hey', she said, 'that's fake money'"

"'Well', I said, 'those are fake boobies.'"

No comment.

I think Zogby should take a pole to see how the strippers feel about taking half off.

Topless club has half-off specials?

Sounds like what they have all the time, doesn't it?
