[note: I put it as “askthe” so you could actually search for it] People, seeing as you can’t search for actual “ask the” threads without knowing the adjective, why don’t we put all of them here? I’m sure the OPs have the link for them somewhere. I personally have a hard time finding where the gay guy thread is without Esprix posting his sig(if he does post it in the thread) while searching. Ad infintum with all of those other AT threads. So, what do you think? 🙂 ---

No, an index page by page, with the general topics covered on each. Perhaps someday each and every question, but not, I think, today. 😉 Esprix ---

Here are a few threads I found while digging through the SDMB’s bowels. First up, just to please **CrankyAsAnOldMan** , we have **isthatsowrong** ’s [Ask the guy who used to frequent hookers!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=161233&highlight=prostitutes). Along the same lines, there’s also **Da Dude’s** [Ask the guy who used to frequent Asian prostitutes!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=162916&highlight=prostitutes) Then there’s **Badge** , who probably would have arrested **isthatsowrong** and **Da Dude** had he caught them in the act, with [Ask the Cop!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=147494&highlight=prostitutes) Even Sven also did one, called [Ask the Poor Girl!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=163527&highlight=prostitutes) .:Nichol:. ---

Here’s my humble contribution: [Ask The Girl From a Small Town in Southeast Kansas!](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=152023) TGWATY’s [Ask The Former Prison Guard](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=161530) Tapioca Dextrin’s [Ask The Guy Who Works on an Oil Rig](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=171254) Thats all I can remember right now. Plus my search is being hellishly slow. I remember there being at least 2 “Ask the Student Vet” threads. Hopefully someone else can find those. ---
