Shy Mice

This ad intrigues me. Not enough to check it out, mind; the consequences of that wouldn't measure to the gain. But it intrigues me.

ad for the Mouse's Ear - nude dancing - byob - ladies must have escort
Why do the "ladies" have to have a male escort?
  • Because he's afraid they'll harass his customers?
  • Because he's afraid they'll be harassed by his customers?
  • Because he's afraid of wives and/or girlfriends showing up mad?
  • Because he's afraid of his club turning into a lesbian hangout?

what an odd policy. at first i thought it might be to make sure that the seats aren't taken up by customers who aren't as likely to throw the dollar bills around -- but then i don't imagine that a man on a date is as likely to share the wealth so prodigally.

and what's to say that a woman who shows up alone isn't willing to spend a few dollars anyway?

Which takes us to your fourth guess. that one seems likely.

I think I'd go with door number four, too. When I first visited Toronto is the early 70s you could still find pubs etc with two doors - the main one and another labeled "Ladies and Escorts." I assume women alone or even in a group were allowed in the main door, though I never tested that theory.

Hmmm.. I still vote for "C". I mean isn't a lesbian customer still a paying customer?

I'll guess "A". It's possible they had some feminist protesters come in and boo the show, hindering the paying customers from getting in the mood. Either that or they might have had some call girls trolling for business and taking their customers.

Hate to tell you, woman must have an escort is to prevent prostitutes from showing up and taking customers out for a little more then a show.
