Be careful what you wear on your next flight. A passenger, boarding a Qantas flight was asked take off his T-shirt that said, "Prepare to Die". That's not the first time that airlines have stopped a person wearing a T-shirt with a phrase that could offend some people.
A lot of folks would argue that denied boarding would violate their "right" to free speech. That won't work. According to the Los Angeles Times, you can't be stopped for wearing an offensive T-shirt on the street or in the airport terminal because those are "public places". An airplane, however, is the private property of the airline that owns it and any member of the crew does, indeed, have the right to stop you from boarding.
And another one along those lines. I know this won't have anything to do with you. I know you wouldn't be caught dead in a brothel but, in a recent case, a judge ruled that you can't expect to "have your privacy" if you're caught in one of those nasty places.
The best thing to do is be open about it and don't try to hide the fact that you've visited "the girls". Then you won't have to worry about being embarrassed if you're caught.
I've been in a couple of brothels. I won't deny it.
Back in the ancient days when I lived in Deadwood (the late 50's, early '60's) I went with one of the guys I worked with collecting money for a charitable organization.
In those days, the second floors of several businesses, lining main street, were occupied by "houses of "ill repute". Everybody in town, (including the churches, I might add) knew that the girls were very generous in donating to a worthy cause and they were hit up for everything. So up the stairs we went to put the touch on the Madam. As I recall, we picked up a lot of cash that day. All for a good cause.
By the way, if you think Deadwood is a fun place, now, with all the casino's, and stuff, you should have been around in those old days when all the "fun stuff" in town was against the law and WIDE OPEN.
Like I always say. "Those were the days".
