Actually, I found it offensive and silly. Not to mention sexist and 
embarassing.
Since this is not an 'old-boys' club and women do read the posts I 
think it was inappropriate.

John,

I think it's helpful to see how many men on the LUG are obviously well versed 
in the ways of hookers.  Leads me to believe that in addition to spending 
their money on Leica's they're accessorizing their sexual lives with paid sex 
(not that I have a problem with paid sex.)

It's a matter of perspective I suppose.  If using an analogy, rather than 
saying....

"Some switch gear as fast as a hooker changing pants on a Saturday night"

I might be more apt to suggest:

"Some switch gear as much as baseball players fondle their balls while on the 
baseball field...."

or perhaps

"Some switch gear as fast as Dick Cheney is shredding his files on Enron,"

or perhaps

"Some switch gear as fast as the Bush administration is apt to keep the 
Taliban and Al Queda in the news,"

or maybe,

"Some switch gear as fast as a middle aged man loses his hair on his head but 
gains weight on his waist,"

or perhaps

"Some switch gear as fast as a man (when confronted) denies to his wife that 
he's been getting blown by a hooker."
