Frikkie Lutzkie of Middleburg, South Africa is currently straddling the line between being the coolest dad on earth and being every other parents' nightmare. When Lutzkie's son turned 16, the ol' man let him invite fifteen or twenty of his pals over, and hired three strippers to entertain the boys. Some boys also partook of alcohol (the drinking age in South Africa is eighteen).

When tales of the party made their way to the guests' parents, they were pretty outraged. Some parents contacted the school the boys all attend, but the headmaster admitted he can't do much about it given that it was a private function, other than let Mr. Lutzkie know that getting naked ladies to dance for your teenager and his friends is not really the done thing. But given the power of recall I have over minute details of the craziest of my high school hijinks, I'm going to go ahead and say that Lutzkie Junior's sixteenth birthday will be the stuff of Middleburg legend, and he's got his dad to thank for it, for better or worse.
