As long as she can hold her end up (top and bottom), then why would her age matter?

What I find interesting, and amusing, is the visual of her presenting her evidence that her age should not matter.

Clubs are dark so wrinkles and softness in the skin should not matter. But what of those things that jiggle and wiggle? Are firmness and rounded shapeliness considerations? Should the sag be overlooked? What about all those other things about which semi-polite men do not normally inquire in mixed company?

Well Kimberlee if it really is you, and I have no reason to doubt it, I thank you for reminding us that none of us can judge another’s life without having lived it. It really is too easy to criticize, and I stand more guilty than most. I wish you well in your suit.

Prof. Turley,
Good luck on the pending opinion. As to our pasties friend, $100,000 is a damn good job. I wonder if she gets medical with that?

Bob:

Funny you should ask. I had the oral argument this morning before the D.C. Circuit in the case. It went quite well, I think. Of course, one never really knows until you see the opinion.

I don’t think any amount of money could entice me to strip.

Especially after one little event I remember while at a truck stop here in Indiana.

We had stopped at a little gas station with a little hotel on the property. Just across the road was three or four strip clubs.
I was sitting in my car when I watched three dirty scruffy (probably smelly) men walk from their semi trucks and talk about the kind of action they would see in “Brandy’s” (one of the strip joints).
Creeped me out. Dirty old men is all I can say

Speaking of age discrimination; what’s the status on the FAA mandatory retirement law case?

At roughly $100,000, she probably would say it is as real as job as she would want.

This is a good website. It presents information and voices we don’t usually hear in our society.

JT: We could easily accommodate a strip joint[tortfeasors] class.

You would come under withering attack. You would have to retreat into Fort Jointteasers.

This is hilarious.

Maybe she should have thought about getting a real job twenty years ago. Then this may not have been an issue.

Let this be a lesson for all those younger stripper girls.

Just wondering/musing, are there legal specialty courses in stripper tort at GWU Law School? Alternatively, can any run-of-the-mill lawyer handle these unique cases?

I have always wondered why a guy would specialize in the rather dry/dull tax law–or for that matter, constitutional law–if this or similar specialties were available; however I am sure money is one of the main impetuses. Regarding a constitutional law predisposition, that most assuredly hinges on one’s overwhelming altruistic nature towards societal justice.

Now, I am too old to attend law school, but if I were not…
