1. To quote the movie, “Fight Club.”
   … I am Jack’s total lack of surprise.

2. The financially productive life of a street prostitute is only about four years, maximum. I don’t know what the organization is complaining about if they’re really trying to get women to transition to other kinds of jobs. You’d think “This one is awful AND there’s no money in it” would do the trick.

3. Well, “It’s awful but there’s crack in it” will often do the trick, or persuade someone to.

   In this country prostitution is legal, but you can’t advertise or discuss the transaction.–What other industry can legally sell a product but is forbidden to discuss the sale–aside from National Defence contractors?

   Although I suppose, technically …

   Organize it, tax it, and get them a health and safety comittee and a pension plan. For one thing, it will finally put paid to the “I-didn’t-know-she-was-sixteen” defence.

   And if nothing else, the involvement of the government will likely put a chill on the industry by reducing profits and productivity. These are, remember, the same idiots who couldn’t grow half-decent pot on a multi-million-dollar budget.

4. It will, up until the time there’s no crack in it. Then they can switch to one of the many other lucrative opportunities available to them.

   And I had a very interesting conversation with Jamie Lee Hamilton about this very “Let’s clean it up and legalize it” thing and as you may be aware, in this province you are allowed to start work at fifteen. I agree that legalizing it would put a chill on the industry, but primarily because those men who choose street prostitutes are not doing so because they are looking for a clean, safe sexual hit; they are looking for the dirty, back-street aspects of the entire culture. If you clean it up, you kill that part of the demand entirely.

5. Well, if my choices were sex with a child and sex with Rodney Dangerfield and Bert Lance, I’d go celibate in a hurry.

6. Is “Bert Lance” a porn name?

7. No more so than “Roddy McDowell”

8. Hmmmm, double pun in that one . . . .

9. Reamington Steele?

10. Woody Harrelson?

11. Dick Nixon?

12. Beaver Cleaver?

13. Dennis Kucinich? (say the last name real fast . . . .)

14. Well, you know, I’m looking at that picture of that “older sex trade worker” up top there and she doesn’t look like she’s going hungry to me.

15. I agree that the older sex trade worker above doesn’t look like she’s missed many meals.

16. wantmo, you make a very, very good point. Those must be some UUUUUUUGLY teenagers trying to steal her business.

17. Maybe they could do some sort of career retraining for these women. “Become a trucker in 30 days!”

    Now, please go back to doing the porn names. That was really funny!

18. High Beams McQueen?

19. :) Actually, I was thinking about electrician’s school.

20. John Mc’Cane’

21. Dick Pole– he’s a manager for the Cincinnati Reds.

22. Well there’s always Dick Long, and his mate Hugh G. Rexion.

    For women, I recall once seeing an “earthy” production starring a person whose business sense had apparently convinced her to adopt the name “Tara Pitt”. And before you ask, no, she wasn’t.

23. And there’s always Anita Hardcock. And my personal favorite when calling in takeout orders – Mike Hunt.

24. Oh, and I kid you not on these two. They were listed in a certain metropolitan phone directory 4 years ago: Buster Penix and Rhoda Penix

25. Karl Hungus. I know we’ve really gotten off track here, but his name has been on my mind since I read these comments this morning, and I just had to type it. In fact, I’ll write it again. Karl Hungus.

26. Just up the street from me there’s a window covering store called Wang On Blinds. Well, if you continually wang on them you WILL go blind!

27. Lets face it. Old whores are loose, wrinkled, ugly, saggy, and smell bad. Younger whores are tighter, much better looking, and smell better.

28. Exactly. Same with the customers.
