Arrrgh!!!

I really need to add a category called "Things I Heard on the Radio."

About 10 days ago I was listening to WGN, and heard Spike O'Dell announce that Chicago has 16,000 hookers.

First....I was astounded that he was talking about hookers early in the morning. WGN used to be the squeekiest clean station in the nation.

Second....I wondered how they came up with that number. What was he reading, and who made the estimate that he announced? You know they didn't go out and count these ladies one by one. Can't you see the uproar if one of them didn't get counted?? She'd sue for her rights!

Third, they got into a discussion of terms for hookers. They figured that street walkers were the lowest on the list, and call girls were the highest priced. I suppose everything else falls in place between the two.

THEN...he blythly announced that the ads in a certain local paper for "escorts" weren't all that they seemed at face value. Since he gave the name of the paper, I wonder if there has been a rush of calls...to the places, to Spike about the places, to Spike from the paper, from the places thanking or threatening Spike with law suits, etc.

It's astounding what we learn......16,000.....
