Excerpts of long conversation at Flashdancers one night:
STRIPPER: You look nice. Did you go somewhere tonight?
ME: No. I had to be in court this morning.
STRIPPER: Oh. Are you in trouble?
* * * *
ME: So the last time I saw you, you were coming off some heavy Xing.
STRIPPER: That's funny. I am now, too.
ME [taking this as a cue, over the next several minutes, to put my arm around her, place my hand high up on her thigh inside the slit in her dress, etc.]: Hmmmmm. So either this is an amazing coincidence, or I can conclude statistically that you're always coming off of E.
STRIPPER: Your analysis would be flawed. There are always outliers.
* * * *
STRIPPER: Do you know the joke about strippers and lawyers?
ME: No.
STRIPPER: I don't think I'm going to tell you.
ME: You're not?
STRIPPER: OK. What's the difference between a lawyer and a stripper?
ME: I don't know. [I can see what's coming]
STRIPPER: A lawyer WILL fuck you for money.
ME: That hasn't been my experience, actually.
STRIPPER: I'm not trying to insult you. I'm sure YOU don't.
ME: Umm, that isn't what I'm saying . . . .
[This doesn't appear to be a case where subtlety seems to be working.]
