Thought I was familiar with all sorts of meters, the ones we love on our gear, electric and water meters, parking meters, etc, but this was a first for me.

    For a second I actually thought the machine was the prostitute. I thought where's the stool to stand on since the mechanical part was so high off the ground and there wasn't any privacy, then I realized it was a meter FOR the prostitute. :biggrin::tongue:
