A dedicated Teamsters Union worker was attending a convention in Las Vegas and decided to check out the local brothels.
When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"
"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."
"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The house gets $80 to pay for heat bills, air conditioning bills, light bills, water bills, sewer bills, trash bills, local taxes, state taxes, federal taxes, worker's compensation taxes, social security taxes, mortgage payments, real estate taxes, legal fees, building insurance, auto insurance, auto registration fees, auto maintenance costs, food and beverage expenses, liability insurance, house maintenance and the girls get $20," she answered.
Mightily offended at such unfair dealings, the union man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, and hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded, "Why yes, sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules."
The man asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
The madam replied, "The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."
"That's more like it!" the union man said. He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room and pointed to a stunningly attractive blonde. "I'd like her," he said.
I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam. Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner, "But Ethel here has 67 years seniority and she's next!"
