On Prostitution

Apparently the Tehran Chief of Police was arrested in an underground brothel with six prostitutes. This, of course, is the same Tehran Chief of Police who has been leading a crackdown on "immodestly dressed women." Trying...not...to...Spitzer...

The fact is, six prostitutes is really too many. This on the heels of Max Mosley, head of Formula One, being busted with five prostitutes, doing some sort of WWII era German re-enactment. Whatever. The point is, most of us would consider boyhood fantasties realized with just two prostitutes. The rich get richer, I guess.

Which brings me to the Pickle Nation participation part of the post. Friend of the Pickle Emma Thomas has recently been trying to invent a drink called the "Elliott Spritzer." Bronze medal for responding with your idea for a recipe for an Elliott Spritzer. Silver medal for going to a bar and asking the bartender and anyone else around for their ideas, then ordering one, then reporting on it here. Gold medal - Dan, Megan (right accross the street from work), Chris, Kareem, Nate, Rebecca, or anyone else who lives in DC, I'm looking at you - goes to the enterprising Pickler who goes to the bar at the Mayflower and asks the bartender there for his or her recipe. Oh please, someone earn a gold medal...

how to order a Spitzer in a bar:

loudly ask the bartender for a nonalcoholic beer, then pour a glass of the bar´s most expensive scotch over the unopened beer bottle and drop it on the ground.

That'll get you a bronze. We're warming up. Silver? Gold?
