sometimes humor can 'clarify' issues. Many of us have heard the old joke about a bar, where a big Texan with a leer sidles up to a girl and says,
"Hey, honey...you are one sweet thang! I'd sure like to 'get to know you' better. Would you be willing to spend the night with me for.....say...$10,000?"

She looks him up & down...startled...but after a minute she answers, "Ummm...yes, I just might be willing."

The Texan, nods, takes a swig of his drink and says..."Well, how about a quickie in the alley for 20 bucks?"

Her face clouds up- she leans back and says in disgust..."Hey, you SOB...what kind of girl do you think I am?"

"Oh," says the Texan, "we've settled that...we're just hagglin' about the price."


the story says a lot.
