Prostitution has become such a problem in Switzerland that Zurich officials have made proposals to add "sex boxes" to the city.

Hello, and welcome to Box In A Box. May I take your order?

Yeh I was just gonna say also what happened to the romance? Unbelievable.

Brilliant! ...and the Snuggie Sutra story was fun, too.

yo. prostitution has never been romantic or glamorous or pretty or even remotely non-mind-splittingly depressing or nauseating or degrading -
in other words, ew. of course; ew.

My love was like a Bolivian fruit stand,
but her heart was like a Swiss health inspector.

Should cut down on moving violations.

I know I like wine in a box...but sex in a box???

Don't think so.

Posted by: Siouxie | August 31, 2010 at 11:02 AM

Depends on the box.

Posted by: bonmot | August 31, 2010 at 11:20 AM

They should put in parking meters.

New York has had "Sex in the City" for years now...

They would have used Siouxie's design but the trapezes failed the safety inspection.

Posted by: padraig | August 31, 2010 at 11:37 AM

BEST PARKING LOT EVER!!! $11.95 if you're in and out before 6:30 PM.

They better hope they don't get picked up by the Fuzz.

(I've heard that hurts.)

Sex Boxes WBAGNFARB.

Posted by: Alyzabeth | August 31, 2010 at 12:27 PM

Funny trustf8. I notice everyone ASSUMES the prostitues are women. As a man I find that sexist. I think.

Posted by: LeDud | August 31, 2010 at 12:31 PM

As a connoisseur of the show "Cops", I know that if that "lady" has an adam's apple the size of a goiter, you should be suspicious. If she has a beard, you should be alarmed.

Ho. In gear. In female gear.
Pay. A drop of golden sum.
Plea. Guilty. I call myself.
Bra. I didn't get undone.
Soooo, she never touched my head.
Bah! Make note to follow ho.
Gee, her legs were never spread.

Which will bring us back to Ho ho ho ho.

Posted by: Coconuts | August 31, 2010 at 03:11 PM

I would *SMACK* bonmot but I have a bad cold today and am a little depressed. So instead I will sneeze in his general direction and then cry.

Posted by: nursecindy | August 31, 2010 at 05:12 PM

Sounds like someone needs a hug. ((((((nc))))))
