So one of the girls goes on to tell the other one that they were out one night and her boyfriend got one and pretty soon the whole group was up and dancing...men and women...lap dances and all...she said it was a great time...She used the word "wild". Now bear in mind this is Ontario....WHERE do you think she was talking about?? She finished up by saying here it is too strict and you could not do that here but over there......
