[Rhodes22-list] bad jokes home town humor

[ben]

That reminds me of a story.  It's been a while, so I might have told this on
the list already.  Apologies if so.

I was walking the dog between 9 and 10 one night.  We were in a nice
neighborhood over near LSU.  We're walking on the sidewalk along a main
boulevard when an SUV across the lane, across the median, and in the far
lane stopped.  The window came down, and a young dude shouted across to me.

"HEY!  WHERE CAN WE FIND SOME PROSTITUES AROUND HERE!"

I was struck dumb for a few seconds, both because of the surprise of the
situation, and because I honestly couldn't think of where one might go in
Baton Rouge to find a prostitute.  I finally managed to spit out a weak,
"ummm, I don't know."

"COME ON!  THERE'S GOT TO BE PROSTITUES AROUND HERE SOMEWHERE."

"Well.  I'm sure there are.  I just don't know where to find them."

"SHOULD WE TURN OR GO STRAIGHT?"

"Keep going straight."

Off they drove.

It bothered me that I couldn't be more helpful to obvious visitors to my
community, and as I walked back to the house, I started to think of lots of
places they might have gone:  strip clubs, Plank Road, Escorts in the Yellow
Pages.  So next time I get that question, I'll be much more prepared.

We lived in Pittsburgh for 9 years.  It's good to see that it hasn't
changed.  You should
add
"If someone has stopped his/her car in the middle of a busy street having an
extended
conversation with a pedestrian waking on the other side of the street"
you live in Pittsburgh
