i hope i get to wear a white wristband!
"After each such encounter the women were stamped on the lower arm in order to keep track of how often each woman was frequented," the paper quoted the man as saying.
German efficiency at it's finest.
We got ice cream yesterday, i jest you ****ing not.
I'm a red blooded man...
...but I just don't get the whole paying for sex thing. I mean it's artificial isn't it? What's the point in sex if you're the only one enjoying it?
Besides being in a relationship makes it an absolute no-no.
[edit] Dallying with a prostitute that is, not sex per se.
There were about 100 guests and 20 prostitutes were hired.
These insurance folk dont seem that good with figures.
3 holes, 2 hands - seems spot on?
Why is it making news now it happened in 2007? Or is it a slow day for the [s]Sun[/s] BBC
The idea of providing sexual privileges to encourage workers to work harder isn't new in Germany.

Quote : [i]"With a formal ‘granting of privileges’ the SS attempted to provide incentives for male prisoners to work hard".[/i]
Obviously the story in the BBC link is highly amusing, but I would be deeply offended if my employer offered to reward me by providing the services of a prostitute. I have never had sex with someone who needed to be paid, and whilst I accept that some losers might need to rely on this means of sexual satisfaction, I doubt whether the life of a typical prostitute in Germany is particularly pleasant. Or even necessarily voluntary.
That would be Godwin's law very early on then. No suprise really on a thread on STW about Germans, not Nazis, but hey ho....
Just for you zokes 'cause you appear to be unaware of the purpose of Godwin's law:
[i]"Godwin's law itself can be abused, as a distraction, diversion or even censorship, that fallaciously miscasts an opponent's argument as hyperbole, especially if the comparisons made by the argument are actually appropriate"[/i]
The BBC link concerned Germany and rewarding workers for their hard work with the services of prostitutes, the link I provided concerned Germany and rewarding workers for their hard work with the services of prostitutes, seems pretty appropriate to me - which bit did you think wasn't ?
The gathering was held at a thermal baths in the Hungarian capital Budapest as a reward to particularly successful salesmen.
😯
I've been there, definitely weren't any prostitutes there when I went!
There were about 100 guests and 20 prostitutes were hired.
Sorry, I don't like those odds, wouldn't fancy hanging around waiting for my turn with a load of horny bankers around looking for easy meat! 😉
A German business newspaper said the prostitutes had worn colour-coded arm-bands designating their availability, and the women had their arms stamped after each service rendered.
It's like WW2 rationing all over again! What happens when the prostitutes arm is covered in stamps though, do they do the other one too? And then the legs?
After each such encounter the women were stamped on the lower arm in order to keep track of how often each woman was frequented
And who said romance was dead? 😕
You know what, call me old fashioned, but really a few extra quid in the paycheque at the end of the year will suffice thank you...
Oh sorry Ernie, silly me for seeing you post about Nazis on a thread about Germans, and putting two and two together.
I didn't read your link, but your quote from it references the SS - just how much more Nazi do you require?
That the comparison appears in your eyes to be "appropriate", is a little unfortunate.
You best let Godwin know then zokes. Although before you do it might be useful to point this out :
[i]"Godwin's law is a humorous observation made by Mike Godwin in 1990"[/i]
Sloppy 2nds, 3rds, 4ths, 5ths......???
😯
So do you think all 100 "guest" employees have really left since 2007?
It's good to know that our insurance premiums are ending up in the pockets of prostitutes, pimps, and assorted criminals. 👿
3 holes, 2 hands - seems spot on?
STW has officially reach a new low 😆
I have never had sex with someone who needed to be paid,
Oh how very jejune!
Ernie we [i]ALL [/i]pay one way or another 😀
[i]being in a relationship makes it an absolute no-no.

Give it time.
Well I suppose insurance salesmen are used to shafting people...
