F1 Race Generates Demand For “Escorts”

Gentlemen, start your Viagra!
Apparently, a race is more enjoyable with a high-priced hooker on your arm. Funny, when I go to NASCAR races, I’m not allowed to bring my own personal ho. Go figure.
SINGAPORE – Singapore’s inaugural Formula One Grand Prix race this weekend has revved up demand for “social escort” services from high-flying executives, a newspaper reported Thursday.
So, I guess for this race, the “x” in Prix is not silent. Heh.
High-end social escort agencies say business is up by 20 percent as a result of the F1 race, with one client reportedly paying 40,000 Singapore dollars (28,368 US) for a six-hour booking, The Straits Times said.
$40,000 for six hours? Are the girls driving in the race, too?
Singapore Escort Services, which said it was handling the booking, declined to give more details but said it has already closed five deals compared with two or three on a normal weekend, the report said.
“This is the best weekend this year,” the agency’s owner, Prince Wong, was quoted as saying. (H/T – )
The owner’s name is Prince Wong? Hmm, I figured it would be King Wang.

That is a little more than a years salary at my last job.
Crazy.

Admiral – You need a career change. How do you look in a mini-skirt?
