Gentleman Disappointed With Gentleman’s Club
Story by Alex Wunrow

Floyd Lavinch has always been a man of supreme taste. Everyday he wakes up, pours a glass of scotch, pours one out for his fallen fellow gentlemen and walks out his front door.

But it wasn’t until recently that he began seeking new outlets to outwardly display his vast level of sophistication.

“I usually roll around in lavish bars,” Said Lavinch “But the other day I stumbled across a Gentleman’s Club, and figured ‘why the hell not?’”

Unfortunately, Lavinch had no idea what kind of gentleman’s club he had just walked into: “I saw that there was a $20 cover charge, and didn’t think much of it, gentlemen don’t complain about money,” Lavinch said. “But when I walked in I saw my Uncle Bennet trying to give a reach around to a waiter.”

The club usually consists of stale perfume and moderate amounts of urine. Most of the club’s patrons are disenfranchised fathers looking for a place to “place their peep.”

“This place usually attracts a variety of characters,” said Stripper, Ronda Gold. “Guys who hate their wives, guys who hate themselves and then usually a few tweekers.”

Although the club managers tend to have an abusive physical and sexual relationship with most of the dancers, they usually make it up to them by awarding them with “extra” vagisil.

“Sometimes the patrons throw garbage at me,” said Gold. “But you get used to it, after all, life sucks, might as well strip.”

This was terrible. Not funny, crude, short, fragmented, and inconclusive. I think the focus shifted from a 'gentleman' trying to find ways to show how classy he is to strippers getting vagisil somewhere in the last 2 or so paragraphs, and I don't know why. Try keeping a focus on the main part of your story (some dude trying to get his class on) and keep the story away from random stripper quotes and anecdotes about strip clubs. The title has promise, after all.

I've read text messages with more narrative arc than this.
