    Why are you griping about this, Pete? A great story just dropped in your lap.

    Yeah, I thought it was gonna be a shitshow. But get this, the charity guys I spoke to (three on the record) were basically like "Yeah, we had peelers there. What's the big fucking deal? We've been doing this for years!"

    Pete will do all his investigative work, only to discover that the publisher was in attendance and will squash the story from ever seeing the light of day.

    Candy Johnson thought it was odd that the Shriners offered her a pin for her lapel on Saturday night at their annual charity event at City Hall.
    Candy is a stripper, and strippers don't have lapels.
     
  5. Meanwhile some of the members say they were patsies
    All this while the ladies were wearing pasties

    ;D

    Yeah. It's a great story, Pete.

    Plus maybe you can write the editorial suggesting the group have a ladies only benefit and hire male strippers to make everyone happy.

    That's because the women stripped smarter and harder!

    Check to see if the charity paid for the strippers via donations. If they did, that ought to make some donors a tad pissed.

    An enterprising stripper would stuff receipts in her garter so the boys could take one while they tucked in a buck.

    Worked at a paper like this, as many of you probably have.

    Was about to run a centerpiece story on a scumbucket landlord in Podunk. Editor/Publisher of the family-owned paper finds out and spikes it less than an hour before deadline.
