PAINTBALL REPLACING STRIPPERS AT BACHELOR PARTIES?

PAINTBALL REPLACING STRIPPERS AT BACHELOR PARTIES?

PITTSBURGH (Wireless Flash) -- Bawdy bachelor parties may soon be history, if a paintball enthusiast in Pittsburgh has her way. Debra Dion Krischke -- who manages a paintball business in Pittsburgh -- claims that many grooms are now requesting paintball bachelor parties instead of drunken striptease bashes. Although she admits some grooms only participate in paintball bachelor parties because their fiances won't let them have more traditional bashes, she claims most grooms-to-be choose paintball because they feel uncomfortable partying with strippers. Krischke's one woman crusade to change bachelor parties seems to be working: She currently is booking about two bachelor parties a week and expects more in the near future.
