Topless clubs feel the economic squeeze

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.

  • Some may call you a boob for doing so, but your video is appreciated by those of us who are trying to stay abreast of these important developments.

    I just had to get that off my chest.

    We have to nipple these things in the bud.

    Before it devolves into a tit-for-tat situation.

    Some might knocker your efforts, but it is humor in a jug-ular vein.

Oh Lawdy.......

On the way to work I pass by six nude clubs in Tampa each morning.

The most popular one had the marquee set up to read:

"Toys for Ta-Ta's"

I kid you not

Topless club? Squeeze?

For some reason, the place Cheech Marin worked at in “From Dusk Till Dawn” comes to mind.

Yet, the economic idiots of SE MI have been spending years scoffing about trickle down economics. This weekend the local news jokers sure liked to discuss the “trickle down effect” and how bad the auto loans were needed.

My answer to the liberal dolts is that this can’t be happening as there is no such thing as trickle down economics, let’s just tax the rich out of existence!
