Strip club patron sues after being hit by flying shoe
Charles Privette says he was cut when a dancer's shoe flew off during a pole dance and shattered a mirror. He was hit by glass and the shoe. A paramedic said: "I can't believe you even called us for this!" (South Florida Sun-Sentinel)

Heh heh--they said booby.
I've driven by that place, when I was in Orlando, and there is a funny routine, by a comic whose name escapes me, about that place.
My recommendation--safety goggles and a helmet. Watch out for that SHOE! (George, George, George of the Jungle, George, George, George of the Jungle...) LMAO!

Since the shoe flew off the pole, does that count as being polled?
Gotta love the club's name!

I can't believe the story was that damn short. You almost don't have to click on the link. No pictures either.

I can imagine OSHA coming in and developing a specific set of safety regulations now. Such as:
"All lapdance customers (dancees) must maintain a flat surface in the lap region, sufficient to support the dancer (and OSHA observer) for the duration of the event."

I agree that he should have every right to sue the strip club if he got hurt. However, he didn't get hurt, and he should be thrown out for filing a frivolous lawsuit, and fined for wasting the paramedic's time.

deick c., that's what he's trying to get with 15k.

Russ, it was either a 3 1/2+ in. stiletto heel or 3 1/2+ in. platform. Either way.....OUCH!! The reason strippers wear super high heels is because it makes their butts stand out more--thus making them sexier.
Don't ask how I know all this.

My bad, I meant to say 2 1/2+ inch....

FTA: "Privette's attorney, Omar Demetriou, said his client suffered a small laceration to his eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds."
Um, Joe--how is it that those don't qualify as injuries. I agree, they aren't serious, but still injuries. The club should just pay for his medical treatment and call it a day.

Has the Palin fairy tale thread been sabotaged?
To bad, the most intelligent story and comments all week.

OMG! I would have loved to have been a fly on the wall to SEE that! That is one of the funniest stories ever! (and more than likely there were plenty of flies on the wall - eew!

RMM--they were probably fruit flies, swarming around said stripper's crotch!

Let her keep driving and eventually she'll become a criminal (when she kills someone)
