Amsterdam prostitute twins retire at 70 after 50 years and 355,000 men

Two twin sister pensioners have decided to retire as prostitutes after half a century in the sex trade, having slept with 355,000 men between them.

Louise and Martine Fokkens, both 70, say they are finding it a ‘painful’ struggle to go on working in Amsterdam’s notorious ‘red light zone’.

They claim to be the oldest prostitutes in the Dutch city and last year starred in a documentary film named Meet The Fokkens.

Mother-of-four Louise admitted, though, that her arthritis means some positions are now ‘too painful’ – while mother-of-three Martine complained about a drop in custom.

Only one elderly man addicted to his weekly S&M sessions remains a regular, she said.

‘I couldn’t give him up. He’s been coming to me for so long it’s like going to church on a Sunday,’ Martine added.

Brothels were legalised in the Netherlands in 2000 – but the sisters say this ‘has not improved prostitutes’ lives’.

Martine said: ‘It is better for the pimps and the foreigners, but not for the Dutch girls.’

But the twins are confident their income from film rights will keep them solvent in the years of retirement ahead.

You know the punchline to the old joke:

“Which one gave you the quarter?”

“All of them!”

[Slings and Arrows]

It does take “sloppy seconds” to an entirely new level.

Better rent a winch.

Madonna would call them lazy quitters. I heard her last baby walked out of her standing up.

Reminds me of the old joke. A girl walks into a bank with a gigantic bag of nickles dimes and quarters. The bank manager tells her “that's pretty impressive. Did you hoard all of that yourself? She replied. “ No. My sister whored half of it.”

Ummm.... Aren't those actually "film wrongs"?

By comparison, Wilt Chamberlain was practically a virgin.

They plan to spend their retirement draining, just like the “Sex And The City” girls.

Q: What do you call a hooker with no legs?

A: A night crawler.
