5. The strip club trick is an old, old Central Florida ploy.

It worked best back when lap dances were legal. I use to work in an insurance company back in the eighties which had the classic division between men and female employees. All the men were on staff. Those of us who were women staff members, however, did notice a major difference in the bonding rituals that existed at the time. When the home office sent us cold fish codgers to check up on our regional office, the male managers would take them down and buy them lap dances. The next morning the women would be diligently working at their desks when the men would stumble out of the elevators, nursing hangovers. But there would be a difference that we didn't see before in the codgers. They were more relaxed among the other men and exchanged knowing glances as if the naughty things they did the night before at the strip clubs bonded them.

What a sleazy era. Alcohol and strip joints. I'm not surprised that that world still exists in politics.
