All that and a bag of chips!
 
http://www.newsok.com/feed/box-of-ch..._headline_news


A woman pleaded no contest last week to prostitution charges, accused of agreeing to be paid for services with a box of chips by a man who said he was a Frito-Lay employee.

Lahoma Sue Smith, 36, was ordered to pay a fine of $1,142 in municipal court from charges from a February arrest.

According to the police report, undercover officers noticed Smith "trying to catch a date” by flashing her headlights at SE 33 and Robinson. Officers said they followed Smith’s car and found her with her blouse open and found a man in the passenger seat pulling his pants up.

The man told police he was having marital problems and knew he could pick up a prostitute there.

Smith told police the man told her he was looking for company but he didn’t have any money, so she agreed to be paid with a $30 case of Frito-Lay chips he had in the back of his car.

When asked if she had ever been arrested for prostitution, Smith told police "Yes. Two or three times,” authorities said.

Smith was arrested on complaints of prostitution and suspicion of driving with a suspended license. The man was not arrested.

Of course--trading corn chips for sexual favors is not a crime!

Picking up a prostitute is the only one sure way to work out those marital problems.

Way to go, bro.

Not allergic to any man, regardless of what country they're from. :D

Yes I have. I just never let my feelings get in the way of a good fuck.


I have a moral flexibilty. ;)

Crimson Ghost 06-24-2009 04:39 PM

And a physical flexibility too, I'll bet.

On the subject of prostitution, why is it that the prostitute can be arrested but not the john? Surely (if there is a crime and I don't believe it should be one) then both are at fault. There'd be no prostitution if people weren't willing to pay for sexual favours, so logically, if the powers that be want to stamp out the practice (and they never will) then isn't it hypocrisy to only punish one of the offenders? Surely the prostitute is no more guilty than the other fucker?

classicman 06-24-2009 05:59 PM

The Johns can be arrested and usually are - here in the states anyway.

Aliantha 06-24-2009 06:09 PM

Ah right. Well that's ok then. :)

In most states (except for those conservative crow eaters) here prostitution is more or less legal here as long as you're working in a brothel.

ZenGum 06-24-2009 08:13 PM

As a crow-eater, I can't confirm the legality or otherwise of prostitution. I dimly recall it being legalised in brothels here like in most places in Australia.

But that John should be arrested for vagrancy, if nothing else. You can't even afford a hooker?
Also, who the hell is driving about with $30 worth of chips in the car? Are they his chips? Or do they belong to his employer? If so, that is theft. Or embezzelment. Either that or he has a serious eating disorder. He has invented the new Hooker Diet! Lose weight, with anonymous-sex-for-food!

Aliantha 06-24-2009 09:23 PM

I looked the laws up here because I'm tired of being corrected by my fellow countrymen. ;)

ZenGum 06-24-2009 09:39 PM

Haggis, would I ever do that? ;)

Details of the prostitution laws here are not something that I have ever needed to know.

Which makes me wonder why you knew it so readily.

Aliantha 06-24-2009 09:43 PM

it pays to know. ;)

ZenGum 06-24-2009 10:35 PM

:eyebrow: Is that in the biblical sense of "know"?

Aliantha 06-24-2009 10:36 PM

something like that...maybe...:)

Tulip 06-25-2009 11:13 PM

You know, what I wonder is with no monetary exchanged for sex, how could she be charged for prostitution? And if she confessed, why did she??? I mean, they weren't even caught "together." Anyways, thought I'd wonder that out loud. :tongue:

xoxoxoBruce 06-26-2009 12:14 AM

She only admitted to have been previously arrested. He's the one that blabbed.:eyebrow:

ZenGum 06-26-2009 12:57 AM

Its a good point. If giving a woman food for sex constitutes prostitution, where does that leave the traditional dinner-date?

Aliantha 06-26-2009 03:23 AM

or wife?

ZenGum 06-26-2009 07:42 AM

...but in your house, who is giving whom food?

Crimson Ghost 06-26-2009 02:25 PM

Depends on who is bound and gagged at the time....

Aliantha 06-26-2009 10:26 PM

Well we all give each other food atm. It's a substitute for sex. :rolleyes:

But do you give GOOD "food"?

TheMercenary 06-30-2009 11:04 AM

What if you eat it off her body?

Sundae 06-30-2009 11:51 AM

I'll bet the crisps were just past their Best Before date.
When I worked for a marketing company that had Mars as a client, the staff were regularly given whole boxes of chocolate bars, Easter eggs etc. The chap who gave me a lift home didn't like choc, so he gave it all to me. I in turn was no great fan, so used to give it to my landlord's four daughters.

Now I wonder if I was corrupting more than their teeth.
Are they on a street corner these days hawking their bodies for out of date merchandise because I started them on the slippery slope....?

Yup. They'll be anyone's Almond Joy if you give them enough Paydays.

First of all, I think prostitution is one of the STUPIDEST laws out there. Seriously. And second, I agree about the john. WTF didn't they arrest him as well? He admitted why he was there. Sooooo?

They will never stamp out prostitution, or drugs, and I think they should stop trying. Just legalize, control and tax it already!

BrianR 07-05-2009 01:19 PM

I agree with sugarpop for once. Alert the media!

It must needs be easier to control prostitution than to eradicate it, which will never happen. OK, I would outlaw streetwalking. It causes too much ugliness. Instead, legalise brothels. Zone them; the better to keep an eye on them. Regulate them to minimise disease and set standards of cleanliness, order etc. Tax them to generate income for the oversight, police, inspectors etc. Maybe even unionise them to keep the owners in line. I believe there is a sex workers union already, yep. that's covered.

I don't see too many problems. THe pimps will be out or legal, the girls (and boys) will be standardised and protected, their wages will be legal and [hopefully] better. Urban blight is reduced, streets are cleaner and safer, cops are put to better use, drugs are reduced (at least by some) and neighbors are happier that the streetwalkers are gone.

Where's the downside?

sugarpop 07-07-2009 06:10 PM

Hear, hear! The exact same argument can be made for drugs and street violence and gangs/gansters/etc. And safe dosage/ingredients.

BrianR 07-13-2009 06:32 AM

Don't get TOO rammy, there.

spudcon 07-13-2009 08:34 AM

It was regulated in the Philippines when I was there. VD and corruption was rampant, as was violent crime. Stopping crime by making it legal only works superficially. Legalizing morally harmful behavior only encourages more depravity.

sugarpop 07-13-2009 09:51 AM

It is regulated in Nevada. I don't believe they have those problems there. And comparing America to the Phillipines? Are you kidding?
