We want Elvira!!!!

So I seriously just had one of the weirdest conversations in my life. I was telling my co-worker about a restaurant a friend told me about. Before I finish with this thought, I must tell you my friend's experience with this place of business.

Now before I quote my dear friend, you must know that besides his sister, he is the nicest most spiritual person I know.


The real funny part was when my boss was telling me about the place. "Hey Al, when we go back to that job in DC in a few days I'm treating all of you to lunch at this restaurant in Alexandria. I want you to be there."

Then he described the dancers and told a little more about the place, and then started trying to defend the place, without me having said anything. "There's no reason why you can't be there. It's not like they do lap dancing or anything inappropriate like that.""It's not what you think. This is an upscale, gentlemen’s restaurant. A classy place."

I never even said anything. After that the conversation moved to something else. A few days later when the subject was brought up, he said, "Alan won't go to that place." Then somebody was upset, because I cheated them out of a free meal a very rare occurrence. I never even said anything.

So much for standing up for my principles.

Big Al it's okay. You obviously at one point stood up for your principles, and he knows better.

Anyway, back to my actual topic. So I'm telling my coworker about these websites. I am trying to describe the restaurant, and she asks me if I've been to a strip club.

I of course, in horror, said no. She then proceeded to tell me that after she got married, she made her husband take her to one. She wanted to see what all the fuss was about. She was able to view what goes on there, and she no longer worries if her husband tells he's going to a strip joint with the boys.

I couldn't even believe what I was hearing. The best part came as she was leaving my office. She told me that I too should go to a strip joint went I got married, and I should take my husband.

When I woke up this morning, I never would have imagined the conversation I would be having. Maybe I should have just told her about the Joseph Smith movie, instead.

WE ARE A WHOLESOME CREW, ONLY LIKELY TO PARTICIPATE IN UNWORLDLY EVENTS. WE DON'T DRINK OR SMOKE AND WE DRESS MODESTLY.
