Then Austrailia has a solution for YOU!
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Hot and bothered by rising pump prices? Australian brothels are offering clients discounts based on their gas bills.
Brothel owners claim the system works much the same way as supermarkets which offer shoppers discounted gas prices by presenting their grocery bills when they fill up their tanks.
"If you come in and spend time with one of our lovely ladies, we'll give you a discount of 20 cents a liter," Kerry, manager of Sydney brothel The Site, told Reuters Wednesday.
There is no link between brothels, petrol providers or supermarkets but brothels like The Site and Madame Kerry's say the system is simple.
Once you've filled up your car, bring your receipt to the brothel and they'll discount the price of your visit.
The bill for a full 50-liter tank at 126.9 cents per liter comes to A$63.45 ($48.22). With the offered 20c a liter discount, the petrol bill would have instead come to A$53.45.
That A$10 difference is taken off the A$150 cost of a 30-minute session with one of the brothel's "service providers."
The Site has taken out cut-out newspaper ads offering the service.
....Hey, it's a better idea than any I have! :p
I'm moving to Australia =D
(sorry Deck)
Had enough of high gas prices?
Fly.
It's almost 1 a litre in some place in UKland (96.9p in local station). But personally it'd be cheaper to spend 50 quid in tesco and get 5p of a litre of petrol voucher instead .
o.o @ Europe
** is wondering how will Gyser, one of our resident Australian forumers will react to this article **
The thing that upsets me is that now that I will not be driving in the forseeable future, gas prices have fallen thirty cents in the past two weeks in my ares.
I'm living in the wrong state. oo
That said, I have no need for petrol discounts, as I don't drive. Discounts on my wenches however...
Very enterprising.
By handling the discounts themselves they don't 'risk' too much anger from petrol companies feeling insulted or that they're having their image sullied or any such either. Then again, the article does make it sound as if it's a part of the world where such an establishment is considered somewhat acceptable.
Wonder if there's a Kangaroo joke in there somewhere..
*scratches head*
It's certainly been enlightening to a point. I didn't know Australia had states. XD
Sign me the HELL UP!!!
Do they have a punch card, too? 6th visit free?
DAMN! I just got back from a trip to Sydney! =/
What're you trying to say?
