A Florida man is suing the Booby Trap club in Pompano Beach. Charles Privette claims a stripper's shoe flew off while she was doing a pole dance. The man says the flying shoe broke a mirrored glass ceiling and the falling shoe and shattered glass hit him.

He claims the club should have made sure the exotic dancer was practicing safe stripping. Privette is seeking at least $15,000 in damages.

His lawyer says the pole dance accident left the man with a small cut, headaches and nose bleeds.

What they didn't say is that the headache and the nosebleed didn't occur until *after* he got home that night.

I swear we have the best news *anywhere*.

I should go down there and walk into that strip club wearing a construction orange hard hat - just to see what they say.

Do you really think it'd be the first time they saw a construction worker in a strip club...

Damn it, beaten to the punch.

Maybe the club could make accidents like this into their shtick. Have a dancer dressed like a villain (ie, The Baroness of G.I. Joe) who screams:
"Here are ze boobiez und here iz ze DRAP!"
Then a light fixture drops on some poor jerk's head.
