We always had a sales meeting associated with the convention. The whole sales force would be in town and there would be lots of activities together. This year we were in Detroit. Jeff, the rep there was known for being a wild man. He seemed to always be in trouble with HR but he always had the best sales numbers. It was expected that the local guy would get a hospitality suite at the convention hotel and in the past every night was a party.
This year was different. The company had hired their first saleswoman. Sandy. She was ex-military, this was her first time meeting everyone. The guys must have thought we would have to tame down the evening activities.
As expected, this particular night was not as wild as usual, the jokes were not as racy and every one was being polite but still lots of alcohol was flowing. We all got to meet Sandy and it seemed like she was going to fit in well, but maybe it was the end of an era.
There is a knock on the door. A few of us looked over a Jeff, he shrugged his shoulders as he tried to stifle a smile. Someone opened the door and in marched two strippers.
They had the total look; stiletto heels, tight short miniskirts and halter tops with lots of silicone enhancements hanging out, and lots of makeup. One has a boom box, the other unrolls a strip of condoms and yells out "Let's Party!"
Everyone in the room goes quiet, sideways glances are exchanged. Uh oh.
Silence, then someone yells out "Hell Yeah!" It was Sandy! We all start clapping and yelling. She is going to fit in!
The one stripper mashes "Play" and a hair band tune starts thumping. They step out into the middle of the room and start dancing. The guys make a circle and start pulling out their money clips. Ones and fives start flying as the strippers do their thing. "Is that all you got?" says one stripper prompting tens and twenties to start flying. Sandy is yelling and clapping too.
