Heh, during the Elliot Spitzer scandal ISTR one commentator, when trying to explain why men pay hookers for sex, offered this chestnut: "Men don't pay hookers for sex. They pay them to leave afterwards."

Was this the same guy who once had the mind-alteringly gorgeous Suzanna Werner for a girlfriend? It's not just his knees going, then.

One of the "fun" things to do when on pulling liberty in Subic Bay, Philippines, was to set up a young sailor with a transvestite. Depending on the victim's popularity among his peers, the game would be stopped before any real damage was done. If the victim was a real jerk, then things were allowed to continue to whatever conclusion resulted. I was never witness to any problems, but I understand there were some sailors who got into real trouble from this.

"Men don't pay hookers for sex. They pay them to leave afterwards." I believe that was Chef on South Park.

From the article "'He just wanted to have fun and meet some other people outside his usual environment,' Nogueira said. 'There is no crime at all.' He added: 'He (Ronaldo) is quite shocked. He said he just wanted to have some fun and for the press not to be informed about this" I think this says a lot about athletes in general, including Clemens(reference to a thread that still needs some work to make it to 153 posts). They just want to do what they want to do, and are shocked when it makes the press. They have the money to make that happen most of the time.

The best part of the article is right at the end. Ronaldo claims that his injury is causing him psycological problems... It's so bad that he can't tell what a dude looks like anymore!

There's not an injury in the world that could cause me more psychological damage that the realization that the three girls I had just brought to my room for a nasty four-way were packin' heat.

The whole world's gone mad, hasn't it. That's exactly what I thought when I pulled up spofi to rant about something, and saw the first word of this thread, "Transvestite". What's more disturbing is I found the article strange, yet oddly arousing. Now I have that to deal with.

You gotta love a police inspector who says "he just wanted to have fun and meet some other people outside his usual environment" about a guy hiring a three-pack of tranny hookers to play the crying game. The heckling Ronaldo is going to face over this will be unbelievable.

He/she's a looker though, eh? Actually, probably not a bad catch for a man who could eat an apple through a tennis racket.

Everybody loves somebody sometime. There's no telling where love may appear. Something in Ronaldo's heart keeps saying his someplace was there.

I think that hooker are already has something there in his/her someplace.

The whole world's gone mad, hasn't it. Look, Ronaldo's never made much of a secret of the fact that he's a bit of a superfreak, so how much extortion value could there be here? Not to mention, a good hooker is one that when you buy them, they stay bought. Or so I've read.
