I don't know what the the laws are now, but back in '71 when I was stationed there, prostitution was legal in any city over 100,000 people. Nothing like sitting at an outdoor table at a gasthaus in the red light district and watching all of the gastarbeiter spend their week's earnings. They'd travel in groups and pick a lady, with each guy taking his turn and getting cheered when he came out, often in less than five minutes. It was a trip.

I was over 3 million miles when I quit working. Pretty much saw everything. The funniest was on an old 727 that had a lavatory door that opened out into First Class instead of toward the cockpit. A pilot came out, opened the unlocked lav door...and pulled a young lady out onto the floor while she was still peeing. Waving it and holding onto the door handle without locking the lav was a bad idea. She got up and locked herself in there until we landed. Those of us in front got a heck of a good laugh out of it. But we had to trudge to the back of the plane to use the john.
Funny story when I lived in germany I looked for a flat to buy, and one ad looked pretty much perfect, a whole building with 5 flats for a very decent price and location.
As I read the ad further down it turned out all the flats were sold occupied - by active sex workers, and apparently it was out of the question to throw one (or all) of them away from the place.
"For investors only" yeah right
Perfect for roots music.
An actual creation from a discarded bridge at my upright bass tech’s shop.
Very cool. One of my neighbors used to do quite a bit of glass art. He got most of his supplies at dollar stores. He gave us this piece; however, Mrs. Dadglasser got tired of it. She said it looked like a child did it. You can see his stuff all around the area.
Didn't Pablo Picasso have a whole career based on that?
I saw some of his earlier work in the days when we could go to exhibitions. He learned to do things by the rules properly (and well) before he decided to break them. I wish my bass playing was along similar lines <sigh>.
A new bass comes with new strings - just sayin'
I may create a club for folks who have children’s Art hanging up ‘round the house…despite the occasional eye-roll.

Wow, that is some kind of imagery that you don't expect in children's art. The guards in blue laughing as an escaping prisoner is blown up by a landmine. But even more disturbing is that the other prisoner is laughing too!
