Immature Tuesday: Part 2 of 2

Peru is behind the times. A 15-year-old girl offered to sell her virginity and it spurned a national debate. It's so 1998-Ebay.

The titillating headline, drawn from a minor detail buried several paragraphs later, did its job though and got me to read the article: Peruvian virgin turns down $1.5m.

Allegedly, in the process of soliciting bids, a man offered her $1.5 million. She said she decided to reject the bid and all others and not go ahead with the plan.

I say allegedly because of this hypothetical question, for both men and women:

• Would you, with the guarantee that there would be no pictures or recordings, have sex with a ho rse for $1.5 million?*
  

Seriously. I know it's a horse, but you'd never have to work another day in your life. You might think it's disgusting now, but wait until your alarm goes off Monday morning.

Okay, you wouldn't, but we all have a friend that probably would, and he or she already has a car. And she turned down $1.5 mil. for a person?

But let's say her story checks out. Do you know what this means? The first person to have sex with her is screwed. There's no way he's going to be able to give her a $1.5 million lay. He's going to be traumatized. She's going to have sex with him and ask for change.

Well, that ends Immature Tuesday. Methinks this won't be a regular feature.


* Nothing engenders affection like implying your readers would have sex with a horse for money.
