A rich as Croesus businessman sends his assistant around to tell you that he wants to sleep with you, for one night only, and he's willing to pay. How much would it take for you to say yes?

If it's a case of me blowing him, I think 20 grand would settle it. If it's a case of him wanting to fuck me up the ass, then I will remain proud and virtuous and dismiss all offers.

Someone told me last week that in some survey 70-85% of women (I forget exactly) say they wouldn't do it and the average price for those who would is $2500, and 35% of men say they wouldn't (presumably with a businesswoman) and the average price for those who would is $50. I don't know if that was made up but it was amusing.

Enough money to buy me two one-way tickets to Greece (one for the boyfriend, who approves of this plan) and finance the building and operation of my Crete seaside taverna. And a place to live. Some Greek lessons too; those would come in handy over there.

Janet Jackson’s breast not worth $5,000, judge rules in lawsuit
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — Janet Jackson’s wardrobe malfunction during the Super Bowl halftime show may be a lot of things but it’s apparently not worth $5,000.
A judge didn’t buy a Farmington lawyer’s claim that CBS Television owner Viacom should pay him $5,000 for having to see Jackson’s bare breast during the Feb. 1 show.
Eric Stephenson had sued Viacom for false advertising in small-claims court.
Stephenson claimed he was led to believe this year’s Super Bowl halftime show would be a family oriented, patriotic celebration.
The father of three children, ages two, four and six, said pre-game advertising and information in television guides led him to believe he would see marching bands, balloons and a patriotic celebration during the program.
Instead, Stephenson claimed he was exposed to explicit song lyrics, Jackson’s bare breast following a “wardrobe malfunction,” Jackson and her dancers simulating sex acts on stage and what he called singer Kid Rock’s desecration of the American flag by wearing it as a poncho.
Salt Lake City attorney Jeff Hunt, who represented Viacom, says Stephenson complained in the wrong venue.
He should have filed a federal lawsuit or voiced his concerns to the Federal Communications Commission, which already is investigating the halftime show, Hunt said.
Stephenson said he was disappointed with the ruling and hasn’t decided whether he will appeal to district court.
“The real loser here is the consumer,” he said. “Without a victory here it gives advertisers a license to lie and get away with it.”
