Years ago I'm in a topless bar (as a customer) with a friend. He invents a game called stripper tipping. For those of you not in the know, when you tip a dancer (we actually call them dancers but stripper tipping has a better sound) she crouches down on the stage in order to accept the tip.
My friend would tip the lady (he did tip well) and then tip her over. He said that she was so off balance he had to. He just had a sixth sense about who would laugh or try to tip him over instead. I was never that lucky.
When I went back to work I tried it. I found a lady that had been drinking a little too much (I also didn't like her, she had a stage name of Ivory) went up to her stage and spoke to her. After I finished speaking to her I tipped her over. She laughed and said that she needed to stop drinking for the night. I only tipped over the ladies that had been drinking, so much safer for me.
A few years after my friend created this game I'm dating a dancer and explain the game to her. She of course doesn't like it, at first. Then she tips over a few friends and really enjoys it. She and a dancer friend create a variation on it: Manager tipping. A little harder because you really have to push hard to get them off balance. I did try it a few times and I have to say that it was fun and even more challenging.
I'm still hoping that stripper tipping will become an olympic sport. It can be done in winter or summer and really the only competition the US would have would be Thailand. I think we could take the gold without a problem.
