You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

There are even chapters on dominatrixes and prostitutes, as well as strippers and shoeshine men.

This is fascinating. One should tip prostitutes? How much?

In fact, no, it seems prostitutes usually get screwed twice.

Stalls are less scary than they use to be (at least planned ones).

No, no. Stalls are still scary to me.

In fact, no, it seems prostitutes usually get screwed twice.

Point!

hip deep in pie

In that sort of instance, was I supposed to tip?

My massage therapist works out of a physiotherapy clinic and I do not tip her. I wouldn't tip the physiotherapist if I was getting treatment from him/her. Similarly, I didn't tip neither the massage therapist nor the chiropractor I saw in the same practice. (All of whom were covered by my medical insurance.)

Not receiving tips doesn't screw anyone unless their remuneration structure assumes tipping, surely. ...Actually, I'm thinking it would be worse for prostitutes if they were reliant on tips, since there would surely be clients who use that extra price pressure to push for things said prostitute is unwilling to do (unsafe sex comes to mind).

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

This reminds me of a zombie joke!

What did the zombie say to the prostitute?
Keep the tip!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In other news (unrelated to zombies and prostitutes) I am very sad to report that Emmett is now 5'9". He's still 14 and he's one inch shorter than me.

I remember that being an issue for dominatrixes (who I believe usually get the 15-20% most other groups get).

Yowza, Emmett! CJ is 5'6" which blows my mind.

I have put in 12 hours today. On something that hadn't been on my radar yesterday. Oy. My brain is MUSH.
