Prostitutes Offer Petrol Discounts ( Las Vegas )
telegraph.co.uk ^ | 26/06/2008 | staff

In the Nevada desert, where it is legal to run brothels, truck drivers make up a significant proportion of the men who like to pay to stay awhile.

But with bowser prices making filling the tank of the big rigs which ply their trade on America's highways almost prohibitively expensive, something has had to give.

The Nevada Brothel Owners Association claim they are bearing the brunt, with revenue in some establishments dropping by up to 45 per cent since the oil crisis began.

"Old George or Jimmy out there, he's got to take care of momma and the groceries first, and he's got to take care of fuel costs, and he's got other expenses, and he may not have much left over for having a good time," George Flint, the association's director, reportedly said.

In fact, things have got so bad, some brothels are offering extras - in the form of free showers, coffee or overnight parking - free to any trucker willing to splash out for a good time.

Some enterprising houses of ill repute in Nevada have even got to the crux of the crunch and are offering discounted petrol for regular customers.

Nah.

Revise the old ESSO slogan:

''Put a trollop in your tank.''

Spend at least $300 and get free coffee. Sounds like Starbucks.

Supply and demand. So, does this mean the hooker bubble has burst?

“”Old George or Jimmy out there, he’s got to take care of momma and the groceries first”

If he’s married why is he in a brothel? Heck why is he in a brothel in the first place.

I asaw a similar joke in Playboy about 40 years ago.

A woman writes a leter to her therapist about this, the last line of the letter is....”Please pardon the jerkey writing.”

Just when I had found a sure fire way to avoid spilling my coffee all over the keyboard, up pops your blog. But keyboards are replaceable; good humor is eternal. Thanks.
