[Ads-l] Throwing money at X

[Joel Berson]

But unlike belly dancers, for a stripper doing the Full Monty one can't very well slip money into her waistband.  Some other method of delivery is required.


P.S.  In the 18th century, of course, it would be coins thrown from upper windows, not debased paper money that might blow away, like its value with inflation.

Moreover, while I'm not very familiar with strip club etiquette, I don't think that throwing is the preferred delivery mechanism for tipping the workers.

It's "really" about strippers?  Freudianly about strippers?
Symbolically about strippers? And the evidence for the assertion is
what?  Because the commenter's mind can conceive it?

I mean jeez!
