Ok…but what about a $200 gas card?
Why is illegal to sell something you can give away for free?
OK, a few things that bothered me about the story:
- Ms. Eversole was charged with both prostitution and doing business without an occupational license. Is this not redundant? Is it even possible to get a occupational license as a gas-grubbing whore?
- Mr. Novak was charged with promoting prostution. I hope and pray this does not involve a carny barking act.
- The citation noted “other gifts” in addition to the Speedway card. I wonder if it included Twix bars, a bottle of King Cobra, or beef jerky?
- Mr. Novak is listed as married. Oh, Mrs. Novak is going to be pissed — trading hard earned gas money for some strange.
- Ms. Eversole is also listed as married. I wonder if Mr. Eversole was doing the monthly budget and said, “you know honey, we’re a little short on gas money this week. Can you blow a couple guys and make up the difference?”
What? I was bartering! C’mon…
Yep, anytime sex is traded for gasoline, the terrorists win. Don’t we have better things to worry about as a society?
I think I’ll go hang myself.
Does that mean my roommate in college who slept with a guy so he’d do her Chem homework should be arrested?
Please say yes, I hated that bitch.
@myotheralt: Hello, gas is $4/gallon. It’s anything but free.
@Trust me, I’m a doctor: Evertyime sex is traded for gasoline, God kills a kitten.
Ah, my home state shines again.
@Trust me, I’m a doctor:
Actually…the terrorists lose = less virgins for them…
@PHX602: “Is it even possible to get a occupational license as a gas-grubbing whore?”
Ask ExxonMobil.
From another article, I found out that the gas card was actually worth $100.10. When asked by Mr. Eversole “who paid 10 cents?”, Ms. Eversole replied, “everyone”.
Now why exactly is this bad?
BTW here is a picture of the best gas station for this kind of bartering: [www.pjchmiel.com] or [donaldmark.home.comcast.net] . Take your pick!
Doesn’t he look an awful like that guy form “Dateline” who does all those “To Catch a Predator” shows?
@timmus: For the prices on those signs, who really needs to trade sex for gas?
@timmus: haha we have Kum n’ go all over missouri. It’s a pretty sweet tourist destination.
Why the War On Pleasure? Is big business religion really that threatened by alternatives? Is big pharma so hurting for profits?
@LUV2CattleCall: Actually, Allah meant 72 VIRGINIANS. And they’re all kinda pissed.
@Eldritch: It depends…was she any good
Eldritch ROFLMFAO! Thanks I needed that laugh. Anyways that’s a bit whorish for your college roomie to do that LOL. Anyways I think we all had roomies in college that we wanted to punch in the face on a daily basis. I had 10 suite mates and several of them finally got on my nerves enough that I moved back home 1 semester into my sophomore year. The b***h that really got on my nerves was the one who played gangsta rap and classical music at a deafening level at all hours of the day and night. GRRR. I shoulda stayed in the all female dorm and forgone the party style co-ed dorm LOL.
just $100? Well there’s your problem, the sex probably isn’t any good if you can only get a hundred bucks for it.
The only crime here is the shirt she’s wearing.
This should be on Wonkette
Whats the difference between dinner and a movie and a gas card? Legally I think he should go from that angle.
@PHX602: Being charge for “doing business without an occupational license” is the funniest part of the story. Gotta love Kentucky!
