SOMEONE'S ALWAYS GETTING IN THE
SOMEONE'S ALWAYS GETTING IN THE WAY OF THE FUN
Couldn't help but notice this story out of England. Leave it to those humorless Brits to ruin everybody's fun.
A plan to teach British children the risque art of pole dancing, usually the preserve of strip bars, has been cancelled after an uproar from child welfare groups, the teacher said.
Dance teacher Sarah Davis announced pole dancing classes for children over 12 at her studio in Birmingham, arguing it was a demanding activity which would improve fitness.
Now of course, the Doc and I started to enjoy the possibilities just a little too much for this post. Rather than try and reword the gist of our conversation, I'll simply share with you this little IM exchange between he and I.
Mudge: i have to blog on this
Doc: just sent the link to [friend who owns a dance studio] to make sure he and [wife] got a jump on the competition
Mudge: too funny
Mudge: it's vocational training! how many little girls will now grow up to be less successful strippers because of this?
Mudge: how many future husbands will rue the day this decision came down - their wives are going to suck at poledancing for them!
Doc: maybe they got the dateline wrong...maybe it was supposed to be dateline warsaw, not london
Mudge: LOL. Yours wins
Doc: i hear it is funded by michael jackson
Mudge: lol!!!!
Doc: just giving you fodder for the blog...your job to piece it all together
Doc: mommy and me classes
Doc: tuition only accepted in singles
Mudge: not baby einstein... baby "peaches"
Mudge: excellent on the singles - that's going in
Mudge: i love you... you love me... now you give me hundred three...
Doc: i've heard of boarding school before, but not poling school
Mudge: flat as a boarding school?
Mudge: whoreding school?
Doc: nice
Doc: man, imagine your daughter coming home from this school and telling you she's at the head of the class
Mudge: did she say giving head in class
Doc: Never a good sign when a parent teacher conference starts off with: "Hello Mrs. Juggs."
Doc: man, how bad for a father when his teenage daughter has homework
Doc: make sure you capture all of this :-)
Yes, it's fun to be an overgrown thirteen year old sometimes.
