Chai Tea has sparked a memory of prostitutes in the city

On another thread Chai Tea made an innocent remark about someone being ugly as sin.



Reminds me of the time I was walking down the sidewalk of a major city on a hot summer night. Up ahead about two blocks I could see someone sitting on one of those short posts that have chains running between them to separate parking lots from sidewalks.

As I grew nearer I could tell it was a black woman, because of her hair a brief glimpse of her skin as she glanced sideways for a millisecond.

I grew closer and just when I was upon her she whirled around and screamed, "SO YOU WANT YOUR DICK SUCKED OR WHAT?!!"

I was momentarily startled, not only from the scream, but because she may have been one of the most hideous people I have ever laid eyes upon.

I maintained my composure and said, "No thank you. I have a meeting in a few minutes."

I continued on my way.

Several days later I told a friend of mine about the encounter and he started laughing and said, "Funny part of the story, Gus, was how she spoke in such a tone, almost leading one to believe that she had a bevy of customers lined up waiting and you had better make your decision posthaste or a golden opportunity would be squandered."
