Not okay?

Jack Rappaport is a business professor at Lasalle University. Last month he gave students an opportunity to earn extra credit by taking a “symposium” on business ethics, for which he charged attendees $150. Their admission fee apparently went toward the hiring of three strippers, if you can even call them that, according to some attendees who were not impressed. “They were just dancing around the room,” said junior Louis Halegoua. “I mean, they had clothes on and stuff.” One, however, was apparently was doing a special kind of dance.

“I don’t know, just kind of laying on top of him. Not laying on top of him but straddling him. It was like a lap dance you could say,” said sophomore Brad Bernardino.

It was during the “like a lap dance” portion of the class that the business school’s dean happened to walk by the room and threw a wrench in the professor’s plans.

“We didn’t see him. He was, like, at the door. And he was like, ‘It’s over,’” said Halegoua.

The university has declined to comment, as has Professor Lap Dance, who said he wanted to tell his side of the story but can’t until the school has wrapped up its investigation. While we wait, it seem pretty obvious that if the Dean had simply pulled the instructor out of class and asked what was going on, he would’ve heard that the girls were about to play a serious part in helping the students role play real life situations in which the lessons learned in their biz ethics class could be applied. Situations like:

* “You’re with a client at a strip club and he’s just poured coke on a stripper’s ass [professor pours coke on a stripper's ass] and demands you snort it. Brad, what do you do? Do you refuse and make the client, in this case me, do it?”

* “Louis, your stripper friend mentions she’s bought up shares of a company called Lubrizol that she suggests your boss at Berkshire Hathaway take a look at.** She also says you should consider buying yourself a bunch before pitching it to the head honcho. What do you do?”

* “Brad, you and the stripper are best friends who’ve known each other for years and worked at a hedge fund together called SMACK Capital. During that time you profited off of insider information together. The Feds come to you and say you can get a better deal for yourself and compete in triathlons if you get the stripper on tape talking about how she destroyed evidence with two pair of pliers and the discarded the pieces around the city. the stripper was the the maid of honor at your wedding and helped you get over being dumped by your former fiance. What do you do?”

* “Louis, Brad is your direct report. He’s just killed this stripper and wants you to help him dump the body. You haven’t yet found out your bonus number. What do you do?”
he would’ve poured coke in the strippers’ ass and asked a student to snort it out and said

    If a stripper recommended I pick up some Lubrizol I’d have thought I was well on my way to the champagne room.

    Dear Brad Bernardino:
    If you don’t know what a lap dance is, you’ll never make it in this Business.
    Other than that I have no concerns.

    Must have been Canada, because last I heard, they charged extra to touch the strippers.

    There’s no need to kill strippers because most of them are already dead inside

    You haven’t been to Quebec in the last 500 years.

    Or maybe you just gave the stripper the creeps and she wanted extra money before you touched her skin.

    You’re confusing Lubrizol with Lubezitall. Lubrizol you trade in large quantities before spearheading the takeover. Lubezitall you use in large quantities when sticking in the stripper’s naughty hole.

    You’ve got it all wrong. Professor Lap Dance was about to demonstrate how to set up a profitable pimp business, the Lasalle way. Do you think strip clubs set up themselves? Unimaginative losers.

    “All right that’s it for today class, don’t forget the extra credit symposium is this Thursday. As I’ve said before the charge is $150, and I would appreciate it if you would pay your entry fee in cash, with extra-extra credit going to those paying in $20 bills or smaller. Finally, if any of you have blacklights or fog machines at home please see me after class.”

    * You are getting a grind job from a stripper at Rick’s in midtown, and it is clear that your physique has responded positively. You are there with someone from a large prime broker, and one of your co-workers, who has to breathe into a paper bag every time he sees a girl. Do you:

    a) Run upstairs to the VIP room with the Stripper for a happy ending, and put it on the corporate card?

    b) Get the happy ending, but pay for it yourself?

    c) Send paper bag boy upstairs?

    d) Get the stripper’s name for later?

    You are ethically obligated to connsumate your transaction with the stripper, but you don’t want paper bag boy to tell the whole firm, even if you pay yourself. Your best move here: Get a ho from craigslist….oh wait, I think they are all dead.

    e) forget about the nasty girls and try to get a date with BL.
