MIKE SORRENTINO A.K.A THE SITUATION FROM THE JERSEY SHORE USE TO BE A STRIPPER!

The situation is that the "The Situation" is no stranger to getting paid to walk around shirtless.
Before Mike Sorrentino, a self-professed "guido" on MTV's "Jersey Shore," battled it out on the dance floor on national television, the 27-year-old tore it up on stage as a member of the "All America Male" exotic dancer group, reports TMZ.com.

Sorrentino, aka "The Situation," worked for the New York and New Jersey-based crew back in 2004. Apparently, fist pumping isn't this Staten Island native's only skill –- he used to give a "great lap dance," a source told the Web site.

Here’s to hoping he'll show his skills on the controversial reality show.
