Why isn't "I was solicited by one but turned her down" one of the options?

December 1992, I'm driving through Asbury Park back to the Garden State Parkway to go home after seeing Southside Johnny at the Stone Pony - a night when Bruce Springsteen AND Jon Bon Jovi joined him on stage. I was riding a musical high. I'm stopped at a traffic light, it's 1 or 2 a.m., this ugly woman comes up and knocks on my window I open it a little and she says to me "Want your **** sucked for 20 bucks?" I say "no" and roll up the window and then drive away when the light turns green.

$20 is a good deal. Was she at least moderately attractive?
 
When we were bored during summer nights, my friends and I would cruise around to see the hookers roam the city streets. We saw 2 1/2 one night -- still our high total. We weren't sure if the third woman was a hooker, but we had a good feeling he/she was.
 
I'm willing to bet the number is higher, but given the "prostitute" stigma, they don't want to admit it.

My favorite hooker story involves one of the larger members of our fraternity, a Norweigen prostitute, and her ability to fellate him while working out her triceps by lifting his belly clear of his unit.

I have no problem with prostitution, by the way, unless you're married.

Hell, she got paid to go to the gym.
 
I love the nine people who would if they could muster up seven or eight bucks. Classic.
 
The thing about regulation:

What makes you think the average prostitute would, you know, admit it?

They'd have to licensed and medically tested before they could work and have to renew those licenses within a certain amount of time. If they don't have a license or tests and they get caught, then they get arrested.

Porn stars don't seem to give a damn, though in their heads they're better than prostitutes. Legalize prostitution and they're all in the same boat.
 
Prostitution in the sense that most people think of it, i.e. the streetwalkers, is not an occupation that lends itself to a very nice lifestyle.
 
a cop in providence once explained to me that it's not illegal to pay a girl for sex

it is illegal for her to solicit sex for money

Did this explanation come as you were being handcuffed?
 
In all of my travels, I've been solicited by prostitutes in only two cities. One was in Europe. The other was Columbia, Mo.

Uh-oh, we have Miss Teen South Carolina on the board.
