Why I Could Never Be a Stripper

No, not that kind of stripper (with tear away pants and a banana hammock) a wet-suit stripper. Charisa suggested that a stripper would be a good volunteer job at IMWI. Well, from her perspective it might be. But, let us go back in time to the Door County Half Ironman last summer when I finished the swim, was sprinting up the boat launch and was knocked spread-eagle to the mat by an over zealous stripper. And let me tell you, this is one guy I would not want to see in the above mentioned tear away pants and sausage smuggler - he was "large-ish". So, I am not a fan of strippers (either kind in this case.) I tend to believe that I can dress and undress myself rather speedily on my own. I am good with the gear bag sort and bike catch at IMWI. MS however will be wearing the HAZMAT suit at the bike catch thanks to D planting the image of urine soaked machinery being flung in our direction. Real good.

"urine soaked machinery"

Oh my...that might be another reason why I might not want to wetsuit strip...

I think wetsuit strippers have to deal with more pee than bike catchers, but still...
The only job I've ever done at IM's is transition fuel. The best part? I was getting paid! None of this volunteer crap for me heheh :D
