My housing for the _semester_ is only $500 more. Two months of porn for him equal over four months of housing for him or one semester housing plus food. And when I lived in an apartment, that would have covered almost 2 1/2 months rent. That is some crazy disposable income. His palms must be blistered.

My god. I hope he’s doing a research project on human sexuality.

What if he’s not watching it? What if he just really likes the idea of having porn on all the time?

That’s _just_ his porn bill. His hooker bill is **ENORMOUS**.

**QuickSilver** : was there any really deviant stuff on that list? Don’t you have Video Rental places in your area?

The amount of the bill nearly gave me a heart attack through the screen. My monthly rent is $560. :eek: For a nice 2-bedroom.

OH MY GOD.

You’re kidding.

You guys have mortgages for only $630 a month? That’s a deal, or did you have a huge down payment?
