Because prostitution is a simple transactional exchange where expectations are clearly defined between the parties from the get go...

Don't forget the Lambo (or is that Lambos?).

Excellent point.

The way I see it, a marriage of convenience (for money, status, big house, etc, etc) is basically a long term contract while prostitution is a short term contract. One gives you access to that piece of tail for a long time whereas the other one is for say an hour. Take Anna Nicole Smith. I'd say her marrying the millionaire was about the same as her walking up to someone and say she will "I need $50 to make you holler. I get paid to do the wild thing.". The contract of one is about an hour and the other a few years and she has to perform certain other duties and gets paid a lot more.

I decided long ago it would be in the best interest of humanity if I not contribute to the gene pool. I have a button that says :The Family Tree Stops Here.

Kuan- are you going to apply?

Nope, that would be an illegal monopoly.
