Strip it down to the truth

A few years ago I had a discussion with a woman who, like many women I suspect, voiced a certain disdain for the profession of erotic dance. When asked why the moral indignation, she indicated that only certain 'types' of girls would ever do 'that' kind of thing.

Me being me and forever tilting at the windmills of people's narrowly held preconceptions, suggested that the 'type' of girl who would strip for money was the smart type. This woman's daughter was at that time being a good girl with a good job in an office where she was bringing home less than $200 a week, which is what an erotic dancer would bring home on a slow night.

So here we are several years later and I read the following news item:

Stripping can be lucrative, students told at career day

SAN FRANCISCO - A speaker who told Grade 8 students at a career day that they could earn a good living as strippers may not be invited back, the principal says.

Management consultant William Fried told girls at a school in Palo Alto, Calif., on Tuesday that they could earn $250,000 US or more a year by stripping and exotic dancing – depending on their bust size.

Fried has given a popular presentation called The Secret of a Happy Life at the Jane Lathrop Stanford Middle School for three years.

The school's principal, Joseph Di Salvo, said Friday that Fried may not be invited back after he included "exotic dancing" on his list of 140 potential careers.

"It's totally inappropriate," said Di Salvo. "A couple of students egged him and he took it hook, line and sinker."

Fried later told reporters that he made the comments, but defended their accuracy.

"It's sick, but it's true. The truth of the matter is you can earn a tremendous amount of money as an exotic dancer, if that's your desire."
------------------------------------------------------------------------

I'm not quite sure if Mr. Di Salvo's parting broadside about the facts of how lucrative stripping can be is sick or not, but isn't it amazing how the truth is so often kept from us in the name of descency and morality. What could be more moral than to advise on careers that will lead to a fat bank account, fatter even tha the average doctor or lawyer.

"BREAKING NEWS"
===============

-Energy and Asset Technology, Inc. (EGTY) owns a global license to market
the genetically enhanced Global Cedar growth trees, with plans to
REVOLUTIONIZE the forest-timber industry.

These newly enhanced Global Cedar trees require only 9-12 years of growth before they can
be harvested for lumber, whereas worldwide growth time for lumber is 30-50 years.

Other than growing at an astonishing rate, the Global Cedar has a number of other benefits.
Its natural elements make it resistant to termites, and the lack of oils and sap found in the wood
make it resistant to forest fire, ensuring higher returns on investments.

The wood is very lightweight and strong, lighter than Poplar and over twice
as strong as Balsa, which makes it great for construction. It also has
the unique ability to regrow itself from the stump, minimizing the land and
time to replant and develop new root systems.

Based on current resources and agreements, EGTY projects revenues of $140 Million
with an approximate profit margin of 40% for each 9-year cycle. With anticipated
growth, EGTY is expected to challenge Deltic Timber Corp. during its initial 9-year cycle.

Deltic Timber Corp. currently trades at over $38.00 a share with about $153 Million in revenues.
As the reputation and demand for the Global Cedar tree continues to grow around the world
EGTY believes additional multi-million dollar agreements will be forthcoming. The Global Cedar nursery has produced
about 100,000 infant plants and is developing a production growth target of 250,000 infant plants per month.

Energy and Asset Technology is currently in negotiations with land and business owners in New Zealand,
Greece and Malaysia regarding the purchase of their popular and profitable fast growing infant tree plants.
Inquiries from the governments of Brazil and Ecuador are also being evaluated.

Conclusion:

The examples above show the Awesome, Earning Potential of little
