All I ever needed to know in business, I learned in a strip club.

"There is not that much different between a dancer in a strip club and a startup or huge multinational corporation."

That's right. It's almost freakish how our inventory management system is exactly like pole dancing.

Apparantly you can learn about anything by studying anything.

All I ever needed to learn in business, I learned drinking - and watching other people get drunk.

Yup. Aleph one contains aleph zero (that is, "everything") between any two points, no matter where you look.

So, who's up for doing a little "market research?" :-)

On a more serious note, stripping/prostitution/etc are some of the oldest professions and hencely the oldest business models. Also, they're purely in the instinctive/social space, where us geeks are usually weakest.

For that, it's a good article.

It's a bit of a stretch, but it was well-written. Very Freakonomics-y.

I wouldn't say it was well-written, given that the entire concluding section was a non sequitur. It's mostly just a linkbait title with an article built around it.
