So Raj, does PSA stand for 'prostitutes of school age'? What age prostitutes would you recommend I rule out? What happens when they are 'bound'? I personally have never met a free one. And so on. I've enjoyed this exchange, and am sorry I was too busy to participate before the above jokes got cold. Raj, I appreciate your effort to help. I will do some research and ask my doctor, and let the listserv know how things turn out. Rick ---- Jo Ann Coen <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Raj - Personally, I thought it was funny.
