Two Strippers, One Pregnant, Charged With Fighting Over $1 In Wisconsin Strip Club

2013_1_22_strippers.jpg Let’s start the morning with some news of the weird: Two strippers at a Wisconsin strip club were fined $250 each for fighting over a $1 tip. Things are tough all over, apparently. If they’re being that fierce over a Washington, imagine how they would fight over some Andrew Jacksons.

The incident occurred Jan. 17 at the Silk Exotic gentlemen’s club in Juneau, Wisconsin. Dodge County Police arrived to find two dancers, ages 19 and 23, in a fight onstage. A customer tried to give one of the dancers the dollar when the other took umbrage to it, believing she “earned” the dollar. According to the police report, there was much punching, slapping and hair pulling. (A catfight at the cat club; nothing clichéd about that.) To make this story even more clichéd: One of the strippers was pregnant.

The fight was broken up by fellow strippers and customers and the two were charged with disorderly conduct—a $250 fine for each, which they should be able to earn with a couple of shifts.

Dodge County Sheriff Todd Nehls said his department rarely receives calls for assistance from Silk Exotic. We can see why; these ladies know how to handle themselves.
