A chip of the old block, for sure.

Do you think he'll ever call a prostitute again?

This is a new retelling of a rather old story:

Snopes tracks it through the 20th century.

It could be true -- it's not impossible -- though I notice there are no names given in the current version.

It is an urban legend and time-honoured plot device, but I'm sure it has happened. After all, it is reducing human relations to a commodity exchange, so it seems normal that the client wants to purchase a younger, perkier version of either his wife, or himself.

Yes, but I imagine he'd have a hard time finishing the deed, so to speak.

There's a lot of reasons why I've never entered into this kind of business transaction. One of them is that I know these women are someone's daughters. I guess it's fine when it's a considered career choice made by independant women, but too often it's due to a lot of bad circumstances.

And they're always someone's daughters and it always makes me sad.

It's an urban legend, but given the odds, it must have happened sometime.
