FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. (AP) - An angry wife or girlfriend might
not be the only thing to worry about when visiting a strip club.
A Margate man suing a Pompano Beach club claims a performer's
shoe flew off during a pole dance, shattered the mirrored ceiling
and caused glass and the shoe to hit him.
The lawsuit filed in Broward County by 35-year-old Charles
Privette says the Booby Trap breached its duty when its employee
failed to perform her routine in a reasonably safe manner. The suit
seeks at least $15,000 in damages.
Privette's attorney says his client suffered a small cut to his
eyebrow, headaches and nose bleeds because of the Jan. 14 pole
dance. Booby Trap general manager George Gettinger acknowledges
paramedics were called but says injuries were minor.

those heels are just so high, if they wore those heels they could rescue animals out of trees without a ladder.

I have no idea,but I hope none of my great grand daughters see those shoes ! there wouldn’t be anything they couldn’t reach in the house. They already clomp around the house on their play high heels getting into new things they can reach.

I guess they’ll have post a sign outside saying"ENTER AT YOUR OWN RISK”. Not to worry,the club will probably get everything they have to pay out to him back in lap dances and the insurance company will be the only loser.
