I can't think of anything more antithetical to a strip club than a speech by Mike Pence.

Probably a dated stereotype but kind of funny because I joined back in the 90's

And anyhow, wouldn't young men at a strip club be hooting and yelling, "Take it off! Take it off!" I don't think they would have wanted Pence to do that.

all need to see?

20+ years ago there were always strip clubs close to every Navy Base, right along with the Buy-Here-Pay-Here used car lots, pawn shops, and paycheck advance places. Many places eventually were made "off-limits" by base commanders or ship COs at many places we used to visit.

I can imagine him approaching the podium with his creased smile and stiff handwaving as the guys hoot and whistle, some hollering, "Take it off!"
