Hookers Have A Heart...

Brothel Donates Money for Tsunami Relief
2 hours, 21 minutes ago

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German brothel owner has been so moved by the plight of survivors from Asia's tsunami disaster that she is donating part of her takings from clients.

"It's not every day you can make a charitable gesture by going to a brothel," said Mercedes Mueller, who is giving five euros ($6.60) of the 39-euro ($51) entrance charge clients pay.
(You got that right, fraulein!)

"It's so terrible what happened there and I wanted to do something," said Mueller, who owns the Happy FKK Club in the western city of Dortmund.
(You know, this is pretty ingenious...)

Mueller said clients, prostitutes and the public had all responded with great enthusiasm to her gesture, and that about 1,300 euros ($1,700) had been raised so far.
(How many of them are going to use this as a tax writeoff?)

"We have as much of a right to raise money as any other business," she said. "We all have a heart too. I hope it will serve as an example to others."
(Well, since you put it that way...I want to go back to grad school...any chance for a benefit for me?)

Sudiegirl sez...

In all seriousness, folks, this is really a good thing that they're doing. Unorthodox, but good. I'm sure men everywhere will rise to the occasion (COME ON! YOU KNOW I HAD TO SAY THAT!) and do their part for tsunami relief.

Love one another, even if the "other" is annoying.

Peace out!
