Pennsylvania woman is facing insurance fraud charges after authorities say she worked as a stripper while collecting worker's compensation payments.

The state Attorney General's office says 43-year-old Christina Gamble, of Quakertown, collected thousands of dollars in insurance payments while working at C.R. Fanny's Gentlemen's Club and Sports Bar.

According to a complaint, Gamble claimed she fell and hurt her back while working at a restaurant in 2007 and told a doctor it was difficult for her to stand or change positions. Authorities say she received more than $22,000 in disability benefits.

1. So they are going to strip her of her benefits?

Gotta love it.

5. How did they find out?

Do the insurance companies send people to titty bars to see if claimants are working there?

I want that job.

ps: I've worked as a waiter but never as a stripper. The former is much more strenuous than the latter, but I guess it depends on where you work.

6. Anyone can be investigated

I've never seen a waiter make change from a roll of quarters without using his hands.

8. Apparently the payments weren't enough to cover her tips.

9. I see this poor lady being crucified simply for her damn-the-pain dedication to her art

Crucified, I tell you. She should be signed up to the NFL.
