Half . . . price . . _sputter_ _escorts_?! If you’re paying bargain-bin prices for a service like that, don’tcha think there might be a _reason_? Like if I paid some neighborhood kids forty bucks to shingle my roof, I know that will directly result in some costly and musty-smelling water damage in the attic. Replace ‘attic’ with ‘my dick’ and ‘water damage’ with ‘herpes’ in the preceding sentence and you can see what I’m getting at here. ---

Of course in this economy it may be better to stick to a tried and true business model and go for volume sales over quality with my new business opportunity [BrokeAssCrackWhore.com](http://BrokeAssCrackWhore.com). A significant cost savings and much less likely to be reported missing after the ‘breakup’. \ I’ll be in ma’ bunk…practicing my Pimp Slap. ---

> [@mswas](#): > > What you think the expensive ones don’t have herpes? Don’t be naive. Well, I guess, but that wasn’t really my main point. What I was trying to get at was, there are escorts for $200/hr that are in business, right? And there’s escorts that charge $300/hr, as well? Moreover, we know from the former Gov. of New York, that some charge $1000 and up. Given that this profession has inherent risks, (of which herpes would rank far below ‘getting naked with someone who could easily be armed, nutso, and sociopathic’) and there being only so many hours in a day, going for volume sales wouldn’t even be possible. That’s why I’m guessing any woman who’s selling herself for $40 probably has some serious issues, to the point where getting with her would simply be not worth the savings. ---
