"There’s a new audience for the Foxy Lady’s come-hither ads: the unemployed.
One of the state’s best-known strip clubs is hosting a job fair on Saturday, promising to hire as many as 25 new employees as managers, dancers, DJs, bartenders and bouncers. The club has about 75 employees.
The business is not exactly booming, and many of the new employees will replace existing staff, said office manager Lori Savickas. But the staggering unemployment rate in Rhode Island has created a big talent pool the Foxy Lady hopes to tap.
More than 10 percent of job seekers in Rhode Island cannot find work, the highest level in 30 years. One result, Savickas said, is that long spells of unemployment are leading some Rhode Islanders to shed their hang-ups about the adult-entertainment industry.
“With the way unemployment is right now, there are a lot of people looking for a job who normally wouldn’t come to the Foxy Lady,” Savickas said. “They’re just hungry to start working somewhere. They might find out that it is totally different than they expected.”
She said the Foxy Lady hopes to find “new faces” to reenergize the business, which has seen increased competition from newer nightclubs.
Overqualified job seekers might not find the Foxy Lady a place to spend a career, Savickas said, but added that former employees have used their experience at the strip club to land jobs in more traditional segments of the hospitality industry.
For the club, known for its showgirls and “Legs and Eggs” Friday brunch, the new blood could help liven up the atmosphere and draw in recession-weary customers hesitant to leave the house, she said. “Everyone is choosy right now about where they spend their money because they don’t have the money to spend,” Savickas said.
The job fair begins at 11 a.m. at the club, at 318 Chalkstone Ave., in Providence."

How to Pee With Morning Wood
Every morning men wake up to this catch-22: you desperately have to pee, but you have an erection, which makes it hard to urinate, but the hard-on won't go away until you empty your bladder. It's almost impossible to aim at the toilet when your penis is pointing the wrong way, so you end up peeing on the wall, the floor, or yourself.
You may have developed your own technique for dealing with this catch-22, but if not, here are some methods to take care of the aiming part, customized for the angle of your dangle.
The Flying Wallenda
If your erection angles up acutely, pointing at the ceiling, you’re out of luck. Your best bet is to install a trapeze over your toilet so you can hang upside down and let gravity do the rest. Warning: Attempting this maneuver using the shower curtain rod may result in head injury.
Strong Arming
This is the brute force method. If your penis points straight out or up, you may have to bend it to your will. Grasp the shaft or press down on the top gently but firmly so your boner bends downward, pointing toward the bowl. Keep the pressure on and don’t let it slip, or you may end up spraying the wall or squirting yourself in the face. Note: In some cases this won’t work because bending constricts the flow of urine too much. If your erection is too hard, don’t force it down – you could break something, seriously.
The Lunge
If your morning wood slopes at a downward angle, consider yourself blessed. All you need to do is lunge forward so your stream of urine angles into the toilet. This prevents you from overshooting the bowl. Toward the end, as your stream gets weaker, you can deepen the lunge to avoid dribbling on the floor.
Downward Dog
This position will work for just about anybody, but it is a little difficult to get into, and – if someone walks in on you – potentially kind of embarrassing. Stand facing away from the toilet, with a foot on either side of the bowl. Bend forward at the waist until you’re touching the floor (or the opposing wall, or the tub, depending on your bathroom layout). Adjust your stance so your junk is well inside the bowl - you don't want the pee to run down your front. If you get caught, claim that you like to wake up with a morning yoga workout.
Note: This position may encourage you to take better aim in general, since it will bring you face-to-face with the residue of near-misses and splatters that coat the floor and outer bowl surface.
The Plank
Another one for guys who point straight out or slightly down. Stand a foot or two away from the toilet and lean forward, supporting your weight by putting your hands on the wall above the toilet. Take aim and hold your body rigid. This position also strengthens your abs and core muscles.
The Girly Man
Sometimes you just have to suck it up and sit down to pee. Sit on the john with your legs apart and lean forward so your penis points down into the bowl. You may have to press down on your erection slightly to make sure you don't pee out and down the front of the bowl. And no, sitting down doesn’t make you any less manly, especially if there are extenuating circumstances. What? You say it’s so long you can’t keep it from dragging in the water? Oh, alright then.
Leg Up
It’s not uncommon to have an erection that curves to one side or the other. If yours does this, you’ll need to compensate accordingly. Use the bathroom walls to brace yourself as you balance on one foot and tilt your body until your curve is pointing down toward the toilet bowl. You might want to install a grab bar by the toilet if you do this regularly.
The Superman
If you're a man of steel in the morning, you might as well be a superhero. Tie on the bedsheet for a cape, mount the bowl in a single bound, and make like you're flying. Hopefully the pressure relief will be like Kryptonite for your boner.

"NEW BEDFORD — A Fairhaven man will pay a $500 fine after pleading guilty Monday to assaulting a Chuck E. Cheese mascot last year in Dartmouth.
Trahan Pires, 34, ripped the mascot's headwear off, pointed a finger at the man underneath the mouse costume and yelled at him because he thought the mascot had picked up his son and pinned him against a video game, court records said.
The incident occurred in May 2008, during a birthday party for Pires' 11-year-old son at the Chuck E. Cheese restaurant in the Dartmouth Towne Center.
During the party, the boy ran to his relatives crying, saying that "Chuck" the mascot had picked him up by the arms, pinned him against a game and ordered the boy to leave him alone, court records said.
Jessie Carvalho, 19, who was dressed as the mascot, told police that while he was walking through the gaming area, a group of youths jumped on him, tried to knock him over and remove his costume.
Carvalho said he put his arms forward to move the youths away from him but never grabbed any of them, court records said.
Carvalho was charged with assault and battery but was acquitted Jan. 12 after a jury trial in New Bedford District Court.
A woman who was present in the restaurant said she saw Carvalho telling the youths to stop but said he never grabbed any of them. She added that Carvalho accidentally bumped Pires' son while turning around, court records aid.
The boy did not have any visible injuries and resumed playing with his friends after police interviewed him at the restaurant, court records said.
Meanwhile, prosecutors had requested that Pires — who was charged with assault and battery — serve six months in jail and attend anger management classes.
Judge John M. Julian ordered Pires to pay a fine instead."
