Stupidity and making bad decisions
Yes I did, would it be a good business decision to start haggling from $20 on up? Don't think so? Would it be a good decision to try and get $10 or twenty off, and get less than a commited performance? Don't think so.

Woman& man who prostituting young girl get combined sentence of 32 year
By Brian Krans Quad City Times May 3, 2007
A Davenport woman who prostituted a young girl for $100 in November, and the man who paid for her, were sentenced Thursday to a combined 32 years in prison and life-long probation.
Ileaser Geane Parker-Tatum, 42, of 1233 Scott St., and Glenn Dewitt Holland, 66, 719 W. 14th St., Davenport, pleaded guilty to charges related to prostituting two young girls. The other incident allegedly happened more than a decade ago.
Assistant Scott County attorney Julie Walton described the case as “sick and twisted” Thursday in court. According to court records, police were notified Dec. 4 of possible child abuse occurring at Ms. Parker-Tatum's residence.
On Nov. 17, Ms. Parker-Tatum allegedly arranged for Mr. Holland to perform a sexual act on an 11-year-old girl for $100, for which the girl was to receive $20. It happened inside a car while Ms. Parker-Tatum was driving, court records state.
Police allege that in 1995 Ms. Parker-Tatum and Mr. Holland had a nearly-identical arrangement with a 14- or 15-year-old girl, the records state.
Judge Marlita Greve sentenced Ms. Parker-Tatum on Thursday to a maximum of 22 years in prison, saying her criminal history of drug use and prostitution shows she hasn't reformed from other treatment.
Ms. Parker-Tatum pleaded guilty to one count of third-degree sexual abuse, pandering and child endangerment. Mr. Holland pleaded guilty last month to third-degree sexual abuse and lascivious acts with a child. Both received indeterminate sentences, which mean they could serve less than half their sentences based on a determination by the Iowa Department of Corrections.
Pleading before the court, the defendants admitted what they did. "I would like a chance to make amends," Mr. Holland said. Ms. Parker-Tatum told the court both God and the children forgave her, and she blamed her actions on drug addiction.
