...did she give him a freebie?

Pot, meet kettle. Sounds like they are made for each other.

I read this story elsewhere yesterday, but I just knew it'd get picked up by El Reg! It's one of those stories that's too good to pass up.

The question I want to know the answer to is, Did the woman decide she needed to earn extra money working at the Brothel, because the husband was spending to much money at the Brothel, or Did the Husband decide to visit the Brothel because his wife was away too much, and as they had extra money coming in, he could now afford it?

It's a catch 22, chicken and egg question.

Did she offer him a discount?

...but I don't really care. Great fun.

...it could have been his mother.

Even worse - his mother.

I guess that would make him a real MF.

"Oedipus? Call your Mother...."

"the dead scuba diver in the burnt out tree"

I haven't heard that one. Do tell...

Eh it was bound to happen some where some day, to many people in the world for it to have not ever happened. I for one think this is true but that little hussy, makes you wonder if she met Mr. Right there :-D

(Ms Hilton is for horizontal for the win angle)

Suppose he could of asked for take away rather than seated :)

Ah, shades of Rupert Holmes...

"dead scuba diver in the burnt out tree"

Did you just watch a CSI: Las Vegas Episode or something?

Nuff said

The Paris icon? Pussy of course

-- Nicole!?

Maybe after realising hubby would pay for sex, she started charging him for it at home too!

Did the husband catch her Pole dancing I wonder?

Paris Hilton as the obvious "dance round my pole" type of girl.

no wife and local brothel staff know all about him so no going there

see darwin awards (google'em) - I think - guy diving in lake gets scooped (scuba'd?) up by one of those forest fire-fighting planes/helicopters collecting water and dumped into the forest fire hence found smouldering in a tree.

As for the Polish couple, who cares?

Yeah, I've heard that one: people find a scuba diver, in full gear, dead in a burnt forest. What the hell happened? Well, you know those helicopters with the big buckets full of water, to throw on the flames? So, according to this legend the bucket gets filled at the sea, and... you get the picture.

But i earned $ 5 and 20 cents

The cheapskates! Who gave you the 20 cents?

They all did.

Has a man ever run into his daughter or mother in such a situation. I have to think so because, well, because.

Do you mean which came first?

Wow! I didn't think there was an English speaking person left on the planet who hadn't been exposed to the "dead scuba diver in a burnt tree" story.

Sorry Walter but they do use salt water. I spent some of my summer vacation watching Canadairs doing trial runs in a bay in the south of France. Have also seen them bombing the fires in the area before.

The main reason why they tend not to use salt water is that the sea is normally too rough for the pickup of the water. Sheltered bays get used all the time.

Trust me, the fire does way more damage than the piddly amount of salt in the water. It is pretty awesome watching 8 of them come in one after the other and have them take off again right over your head fully laden. The 30 mins later they are back.

Cat in microwave - no, still not true.

Microwave, jammed door?

If you're going to claim myths as truth, you really, really need to cite sources. This is the internet, people here have a lot of spare time. Oh, and they have access to Snopes.

Presumably he could ask for a distaff discount.

...ergo, he went out for it 'cause he wasn't getting it at home !

Years ago I had a mate who was a Community Support Officer (Or "Plastic Plod" as they're more commonly known.) And he passed on the following nightmare.

A gang of kids broke into an old woman's house when she was out, the 82 year old came back to find the place ransacked, valuables missing, and her pet dog charred beyond recognition in the oven.

Statistically the elderly are more likely to die in the six months after a burglery than they are normally, can't imagine that she lived long after that.

Of course here in the United Kingdom of Asbo's nobody batted an eyelid.

This week in Canada

Yes, I'd believe AC over one cat. Some things just demand absolute zero tolerance.

Otherwise, where do you draw the line? A cat? A baby? A woman? Ten people? Six million?

We've (as a species) been on this roller-coaster before, and it wasn't much fun the first time. We'd be absolutely stupid beyond belief to get on it again.

Of course, there's "reality TV"...

....he could have saved all that money by only paying on the nights he had sex, might have cost him a bit when they first met, but every year they were married he'd have saved a mint!

Did he pay by credit card?
