Dutch Prostitutes Tart Up The Whore Miles
THe Dutch want to control everything:
Prostitutes in the Dutch city of Eindhoven are to be awarded “credits” in return for good behaviour under a new scheme to encourage them to abandon the oldest profession.
The prostitutes will receive so-called “street miles” that they can use to acquire free designer clothes or furniture, provided they take up an offer by the city council to take steps leading to a career change and a safer lifestyle.
“We needed to come up with incentives that these women might latch on to,” said Veronique Beurskens of Eindhoven council, who is leading a drive to rid the city of street prostitution.

Fully Secured Bank Funding Pigeon,
We were discussing the markets, as befits these troubled times.
Time is, after all, money, and I’m assuming that those hard working hos desperately trying to save up for new sofa will want to generate as much cash flow as possible, in as short a time as possible.
Though 7 seconds seems to be pushing it…

7 mins? 7 measly mins? pmsl…..

Yep; that’s why I can quote Saint-Simon on Ninon De L’Enclos.
Though it would probably be going a bit far to dig Voltaire up and transfer him to my humble abode to grace my literary salon…

chenier - did you manage to get your bookcase…?

Courtesan, please.

Sevon seconds of banter would be pushing things. Unless the man has the good luck to be visiting an intellectual prostitute. “So, what do you think about Spinoza’s proposition on the objective value of moose-hunting in the post-hunter-gatherer era?”

I have just spent a fruitless 10 minutes looking for the video of the last seven minutes of Apocalypse now, which I posted on the Forum a few days ago.
Nobody does the Apocalypse better than the Doors.
Of course, seven minutes is probably a bit too long for the average ho/john exchange…

It would be better for the economy if the government made it compulsory for every man to visit professional girls at least twice a month. Think of the tax returns! And anyway, soon everyone’s savings will be as objectively worthless as Charles Saatchi’s latest “it’s art, innit?” purchase, so let people spend their money on fun before the apocalypse sets in.
October 7th, 2008 at 12:29 pm
Well, of course!
I myself only graced the oldest profession because I was saving up for another bookcase…
