Strippers Raise Money For Vegas Schools
<snip>

LAS VEGAS -- Exotic dancers held a detention session with a difference at a Las Vegas strip club as part of a recent fundraiser.

The dancers, who were dressed as teachers, schoolgirls and librarians, took off their clothes to raise money for the cash-strapped Clark County School District. Scores Las Vegas raised $2,500 during the event.

District officials said they don't condone stripping for schools and noted that the money actually went to a nonprofit corporation that supports the school system.

The foundation said the strip club donation will be used to buy supplies and computers for Las Vegas teachers.

1. Reminds me
of a Calvin and Hobbes strip where Calvin stays home sick from school and spends the whole day watching soap operas. In the last panel he tells Hobbes "Sometimes I think I learn more when I don't go to school!"

In a similar vein, this MatcomNews story is very educational, in ways the education bureaucracy probably didn't intend...

5. Rick Perry tried to tax lap dances
in Texas for school funding. The Houston Chronicle called it "Tits for Tots".

11. That sounds abnormal for anywhere but Vegas, baby.
Having lived there and in the surrounding area, there really is nothing out of the ordinary about an event like that one.
