I was watching the HBO series “Entourage” and in one scene the star finds out that his girl of the day is a madam, and that the girls he has set two of his friends up with, are $5,000 to $7,000 a day hookers.
Which got me to thinking. Back in Nam in, oh, say 1968, a carton of Kools - which cost $3 in the PX - would get you an all-nighter with one of the local Flowers of the Orient.That got me to thinking…just how much would that be in today’s dollars.
Not to worry. At that price adjusted for inflation, it’d only cost me $16.60. When I pointed this flesh trade discrepancy out to my wife, she noted, “Yeah, but that was wartime pricing.”
Ah, the good ol' days.
