For those of you who do not know, Kalgoorlie is a large gold
mining town in Western Australia .
It has accepted brothels which are a tourist site.
A union leader was attending a convention in Kalgoorlie , and decided to check
out the local brothels.
When he got to the first one, he asked the Madam, "Is this a union house?"
"No," she replied, "I'm sorry it isn't."
"Well, if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The house gets $80 and the girls get $20," she answered.
Offended at such unfair dealings the union leader stomped off down the street in
search of a more equitable, hopefully unionized shop. His search continued until
finally he reached a brothel where the Madam responded,
"Why yes sir, this is a union house. We observe all union rules."
The union leader asked, "And if I pay you $100, what cut do the girls get?"
"The girls get $80 and the house gets $20."
"That's more like it!" said the union boss.
He handed the Madam $100, looked around the room, and pointed to a stunningly
attractive blonde.
"I'd like her," he said.
"I'm sure you would, sir," said the Madam.
Then she gestured to a 92-year old woman in the corner,
"but Ethel here has 67 years seniority and according to union rules, she's
next."
