A shocking legal loophole discovered by authorities in Rhode Island.

While teens can’t pump gas or climb ladders on the job because of protections in workplace laws, there is nothing on the books keeping 16- and 17-year-olds from stripping – as long as they’re home by 11:30 on school nights.

Authorities discovered this loophole during a police investigation into a 16-year-old runaway found working at a strip club in Providence.

This will probably be fixed by lawmakers soon.

Until this year Rhode Island had several loopholes like that.

I wouldn't want to see a minor strip. Big burly guys in flannel and hard hats. Nothing sexy about that.

Thats because you've never seen a well executed pick axe trick
