I asked this question to a girl once.
With any luck, I hope you can avoid my mistake.
I was, however, not confused as to who she was.
I asked the question to prove a point.
Still, she was less than thrilled.
Use with caution.
“And then there’s the tale of an economist on holiday in Las Vegas. He found himself one night in a bar standing beside a gorgeous woman. “Would you be willing to sleep with me for $ 1 million?” he asked her. She looked him over. There wasn’t much to see—but still, $ 1 million! She agreed to go back to his room. “All right then, ” he said. “Would you be willing to sleep with me for $ 100?” “A hundred dollars!” she shot back. “What do you think I am, a prostitute?” “We’ve already established that. Now we’re just negotiating the price.””

You can even change “1 million” to “1 billion,” and really find out how many prostitutes you know.
Ha!
