strange wo
It's amazing to me what som
people will claim is work.
Apparently there's a ports authoi
ity worker somewhere along th(
southern coast of the United States
(I was too busy looking for the bes
price for Cadbury cream eggs in th<
newspaper ads to notice the town';
name.) who charged more that
$12,000 worth of table dances a:
work expenses.
For those of vou unfamiliar wit!
the wonderful world of exotic danc
ing, a table dance is where a gu]
who has little or no social life goe;
to a club, pays some cash and ;
scantily clad female gets even mor<
scantily clad right in front of the guy
There's lots of gyratin' and pulsatin'
apparently. I don't make it a habit tc
visit topless clubs; contrary to pop
ular belief, the beard doesn't wort
when bouncers ask for your ID, especially
when your driver's license
picture was taken when you were 15
i years old.
Now, according to the club owner,
$12,000 of table dances at this
particular establishment translates
to roughly 720 dances. That's quite
a bit of booty-shaldn' for one guy. In
fact, the Club was nrvn 17 hnnrc that
night, and that means about 60
dances per hour.
I figure he was entertaining everyone
in the club, including the bartender
and the table dancers who
were taking a water break.
I can't quite buy the work expense
excuse, though. I guess he probably
wrote $1,000 for laptops on his expense
account, hoping it would
make the computing guys smile and
say, "Ah, our fine executive is doing
some work on the road." That still
leaves a lot of unaccounted-for cash.
Maybe these table dancers were
business students working for their
tuition, and this intuitive young professional
was asking their opinions
on stock trends and other businesstype
stuff.

" I have to wonder how those table
dancers kept going for 720 dances,
too. It seems the same old erotic gyrations
would lose their appeal after
dance 456 or so, and they'd start
looking for creative ways to dance.
Of course, the executive also
charged over 15,000 worth of alcohol
to his bill that night, so the last
200 dances were probably pretty
hazy anyway.
My theory is that the executive, after
downing about $2,000 of that
liauor. started doine table dances
himself. In his drunken stupor, he
asked the manager of the club for a
job and was immediately hired as
the club's first male exotic dancer.
He then began to dance for himself,
charging himself every time.
I figure he woke up in the hotel
room the next morning with a couple
of 10-spots stuck in the waistband
of his BVDs and "Stud muffin"
written in lipstick on his calf. That
must have also been when he realized
he had a lot of explaining to do.

The following are the available facts.
Beaty granted Sally permission to work outsidi
his plantation. He required Sally to pay him a per
centage of what she made, and that everythinj
above that percentage Sally could keep to buy he;
freedom or the freedom of another slave. Sail;
saved her money and took Beaty up on his offer
She decided to buy an unnamed slave's freedon
and approached Beaty to make her claim. At first
Beaty allowed the deal, but he then retracted hi!
offer. In May 1792, a suit was brought by Sally'!
guardian.
Beaty argued to the court that he had a vestec
right in his slaves and that, while "English Commor
Law did not countenance slavery," French Civil Law
developed a code which prohibited slaves from suing
their owners. Beaty's attorney then argued, "II
was the French Civil Law, not the English Commor
Law, which governed on this issue."
The plaintiff's attorney "confessed that the common
law would not apply to this case, but the rules
of equity and justice, which were a part of the civil
and of the common law, would." The case editor
noted that "what made the case unique was that
there was no case similar to it in the history of judicial
proceedings." Therefore, the court decided

The plaintiffs attorney argued that because Bea
received the amount of money he requested froi
1 the slave, "there was an implied condition, that u]
on such payment, he would be perfectly satisfk
and that all she could make over she might dispo:
of as she pleased."
I Chief Justice Rutledge spoke for the court:
.. Although the case was a new one, yet th
r court found no difficulty whatever in forming a
opinion of it; for the master got the labour of h
wench, or what he agreed to receive for her montl
, ly wages, (which is the same thing), he could nc
be injured; on the contrary, he was fully satisfier
and all that she earned over ought to be at her ow
; disposal; and if the wench chose to appropriate th
savings of her extra labour to the purchase of thi
girl, in order afterwards to set her free, would a ji

On being confirmed as SG director of public relations

turned a verdict for Sally, and she was set at liberty."
Sally v. Beaty did not change the S.C. courts' enforcement
of the state's slave laws. There would be
other cases where slaves fined well, but for the next
73 years following the Sally decision, slavery conis
tinued.
if* One wonders what happened to Sally the emancipator
and the slave, but the record stands silent
ty on the issue. We know nothing about her guardian
m either. What is clear is that Sally won a case before
P" the state's full court bench in an era when one
might suspect she should have lost.
It is frustrating that we do not know what happened
to Sally or the other slave. We do not know
who Sally's guardian was. We do not know why the
n judges decided the way they did in the case beyond
. the court-stated position.
1 Finding and reporting this decision does not
)t change what happened. Neither did the decision
j change how slaves were generally treated in the
n South.
e What we do know is that on a given day in May
is 1792, S.C.'s law judges handed down an opinion
i- where the court supported a black slave over her
d white owner. It changes our perspective slightly.
