In an apparent world first, an Australian brothel has made a public stock offering under the name “the Daily Planet”. The offering was subscribed to the tune of $2.2 million:

May I be the first to suggest that in their promotional literature, they adopt the slogan of a now-defunct US trucking company:
“Humpin’ to Please”
All gratuitous, not to mention peurile, comments welcome.
What was the IPO? $20, just like in town…
well, that just shows how confused I am. I thought IPO was what shares of stock initially sell for…sorry about the previous post.
That’s one investment I wouldn’t mind being in the hole for.
Perry White would be aghast…
I wonder what sort of dividends they offer!
:eek:
Must call stock broker
OW stop throwing things!
“Great Caesar’s Palace!”
Hmmm…A couple of things spring to mind…
“Long term investments will be met with great appreciation”
“Significant penalty for early withdrawl”
But seriously, does anyone have any idea why they named a brothel “The Daily Planet”?
