A dedicated union worker was attending a convention 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 man stomped off down the street in search of a more equitable, hopefully unionised 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 man asked, “And if I pay you £100, what cut do the girls get?”
“The girls get £80 and the house gets £20″ the madam replied.
“That’s more like it!” the union man said.
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.”
