In the state of Rhode Island, 16-year-olds legally can't operate a power saw or pump gas, but they can thrust their privates and shake their bits for greasy skeezers in a strip club! They can drop it for a tip as long as they get a work permit and are home by 11:30pm on a school night. So in Rhode Island, you can either get a summer job flipping burgers or flipping your ass cheeks! Sounds reasonable to me.
The authorities found out about the loophole when they were investigating a 16-year-old runaway who got a job at Cheaters strip club in Providence. They couldn't throw the owner in the clink, because there is currently no state law banning minors from getting nekkid to Motley Crue songs for money. There is a law which states that anybody who employs a person under the age of 18 for prostitution whoring or any other lewd or indecent act can be thrown in prison. Apparently, the term "lewd or indecent" is completely subjective (meaning it depends how fugly the stripper is), so it doesn't prevent girls from stripping.
Officials are currently working overtime to get a new ordinance on the books which will make it illegal for youngins to work the pole stroll.
If you just saw a bolt of lightning outside of your window, don't fret! A storm isn't coming! That was just R. Kelly sprinting towards Rhode Island.
