Meh. I'd hit it, but I wouldn't pay $4300 for the rights to hit it. Just saying, "I'm the governor of NY" to a random chick at the bar should get you as-good or better women legally, and for free.
Yeah, but that's not really the point. Chicks at the bar ask questions, and fall in love, make phone calls, try to get pregnant etc.
Is it really that much safer to get a call girl when there's always a threat that the prostitution ring will get busted up and you're publicly shamed?

Maybe he should have just took care of things manually and gone to bed.

Well, it's a different kind of risk. Was it Charlie Sheen who said, "I don't pay them to have sex with me, I pay them to leave"? High-dollar prostitution is a huge business among people that can afford it, and for reasons that make sense.

Anyway, neither is definitely a safer bet.

With all of the quality porn available on the internet, I think it's wise to take no risks with anyone but your wife and your hand. Just go solo and go to bed if you feel the urge on a business trip.

Okay I feel bad for her, but not so bad that I can't say "man hands."

Interesting tidbit from the Wall Street Journal:

http://blogs.wsj.com/wealth/2008/03/11/ ... rofession/
According to a survey by Russ Alan Prince, president of Connecticut-based wealth-research firm Prince & Associates, in his book “The Sky’s The Limit,” a sizable percentage of the super wealthy use escorts. He surveyed 661 people who owned private jets. It found that 34% of males and 20% of females had paid for sex.

The most popular reason was “unique experiences” (71%), followed by “higher quality experiences” (57%). Conventional wisdom says that the rich visit escorts to avoid messy break-ups or extra demands for cash. But the study shows otherwise: “No strings attached,” ranked last as a reason.

“With the wealthy,” Mr. Prince says “it’s all about power and control and new experiences.”

It is like Charlie Sheen's quote when asked why he had to pay women for sex. He said, 'I don't pay them for sex. I pay them to leave'. :P

I call for a full Congressional investigation of Leroy's posting habits.
