"Boss, I'm on sick leave right now, my thighs really hurt, the government is paying me unemployment insurance." Germany inacts law that sees prostitution as any other form of work, whereby she can take you to court if you don't pay.

the government insisted it was not
elevating prostitution to the status of a "normal'' job.

Though many "normal" jobs sure feel like prostitution...

If the girl in the photo is a typical-looking German prostitute, I can understand why they would need unemployment insurance.

Wait…I think I mixed up the prostitute with the Family Minister…

From the article: “Prostitutes’ services are used around 1.2 million times a day.” Those gals are troupers!
