Your cleft sentence is showing

In 1989, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn’t commit. They promptly escaped from a maximum security stockade to the Las Vegas underground. Today, still wanted by the government, they survive as strippers of fortune. If you have a wad of cash, if no one else can help get you off, and if you can find them, maybe you can hire the A-Team. To show you their boobies.

But whatever you do, don’t hire them to copyedit your term paper.

“…for find out we’re up to”

Are you serious? I expect my strippers to at least have a minor grasp of grammar. Otherwise, how will they know when they have their period? How will they know what to do with a dangling participle? Will they even be able to master top-down language learning?

I bet if you actually text ATEAM to 89074, your follow-up text would be:

“I want for find out your up to.  Let know. You dollar on skirt and panty.”
