I was working as a rep out of our Knoxville branch in 1981 and the Regional Manager was a young and ambitious sort who had been "aided" by the Divisional Director in his climb. Both were pretty straight and serious types which was a bit unusual for the company. A lot of the management of which I was later a part as well as the reps were pretty off the wall.....I fit right in.

A group of us always stopped at a table dancing joint after monthly sales meetings and we had a few of the girls who knew us pretty well. When the Christmas Party came up, the Regional manager was anxious to impress his "mentor" and invited him to this big bash he had planned.for the region. After the November meeting we were at the"Mouse's Ear" and one of the guys suggested we hire one of the girls, but I suggested the joke would be better if I took her as my date. One of the girls thought it was a funny idea and for a few $$$ she went along as my date.

Friends, it was a great night. After a fine meal and various presentations the DJ that had been hired started his set and B*** went into her act, stripped nude, on the tables and all. The wives who were there were in on it and the other guys had elected not to bring theirs! I tried to play it straight, but it wasn't happening and everyone except the manager and his mentor were literally on the floor. I damn near choked to death laughing. The looks on their faces was priceless.
