2024 OPENING CEREMONY TICKETS STARTING AT €9,500
So it’s unlikely I’ll be attending. I could take a loan out and use the house as collateral.
Just seems a bit … um what’s the word … extravagant.
That’s over $10,000 for us ugly Americans. And it’s in Paris, a city I love full of the most arrogant people on the planet. My last trip there, the only people that extended themselves to me were the street whores, male and female. And when I waived them off they’d go from “ready to spread” to violent vagrants.
One even followed me to an ATM.
“Why you no want the sex from me.”
“I’m too tired. I need to sleep.”
“I sleep with you, no?”
“That’s right, no.”
I grabbed my money and split as briskly as possible.
The whore followed me.
“I make feel good for you. I drop rate for you.”
So just out of curiosity, I asked what his rate was.
“€500 but for you I do €450.”
What a bargain, right? Hey France, your country’s economy is in the bidet for a reason. Ya ain’t all that.
€9,500 to watch a parade and €450 to catch gonorrhea. Hell, back in the day I could hit Times Square and catch gonorrhea for free just by looking at the sleaze in front of the peep shows. I miss the 70s and 80s.
Can it be that it was all so simple then?
Or has time re-written every line?
If we had the chance to do it all again
Tell me, would we? Could we?
We wouldn’t because we couldn’t.
