I've seen this before, and it is witty. However, it is perhaps unfair towards the woman. The man, after all, is someone who has offered a woman money in return for sex. The whole story reads differently if we replace 'philosopher' by 'man' and 'attractive lady' by 'woman'. -- Jonathan -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
