I guess if you’re going to do something, at least be good at it. Apparently that’s the thinking of Carol Leigh in starting “[Whore College](http://www.flashnews.com/news/wfn1050426J24931.html).” Had to laugh that she doesn’t plan on any form of final exam. Not even an oral test? 😉 ---

Haha, thats great. Well… you’re FIRED! I knew I should have hired someone a little more qualified and experienced. You just botched the job right there. No no, you won’t get a reference from me now. 😃 ---

I thought about being a hooker. It’s a bit of a slog, though. First you have to start as an Apprentice Baiter, then advance to Journeyman Baiter, and finaly a Master Baiter. Due to Union rules, many remain a Master Baiter throughout their careers. But it’s possible to move up from simply baiting, to actually hooking the fish. All in all, becoming a Hooker sounds like too much trouble. ---

Actually, what would you call the Kama Sutra school for courtesans in the movie _Kama Sutra: A Tale of Love_? The school run by the retired courtesan Rasa Devi (Rekha) that taught girls and women the erotic arts from the _Kama Sutra_, with classes in kissing, sex positions, classical Hindu dance, and how to use your feet to pleasure your lover. Were there real schools like this in India, I wonder? ---

Yeah, I was a hooker when I was twelve. I learned a lot from my teachers at school and they encouraged me each weekend. I’m older and wiser now so I don’t play rugby any more. ---

I’d rather be a slicer than a hooker. You can talk to a slice but a hook just ignores you. 🙂 Oh,Sorry. I’m jabbering a lot about golf lately. Must be the time of year. 😃 [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-wants-to-be-a-hooker/301326.md?page=2)
