Travel Log: Shady Business down Vancouver Way

I'm out in Vancouver for my best friend's wedding and there have been many stories and harrowing adventures as of yet, mostly I don't think they're worthy of recounting to you fine folks, I can only drag you down so much before I lift you up and my last entry was a rant and a half, so I don't think regaling you with a tale of exhaustion, confusion and such is appropriate (plus I'm no longer sore about that issue, it's all been good going since then). So now, now I'll tell you a tale that made me laugh, to myself:

Last night, after hanging with my buddy Megan, I headed "home" to my hotel room, on the way home I mostly just zoned out and listened to my music and tuned into my thoughts and personal musings. While walking up Granville street to get to the bus I knew would get me to my hotel, instead of risking getting lost in an unfamiliar city, in my peripheral vision I see a lady flagging me down. Shes in her late 30s to mid-40s, I can't really tell. I take one earbud out of my ear and she asks me if I have change for a Toonie.

Me, I'm an obliging and nice man, so I root around in my wallet while still walking towards my bus and pull out one Loonie and four quarters. I Show her them and she pulls a slick move on me. SHe grabs the quarters and says "Do you have another one of 'these'" and grabs the Loonie. I realized before this happened that it was a possibility and I say "No", basically acknowledging that I had just been swindled for my good nature and just glad it wasnt change for a 5$, when things take an interesting turn...

"So, i can't give you a blowjob out on the street like this, there's too much traffic around and..." she starts. I cut her off saying "It's okay", and wave her away while walking off and thinking "If you're willing to give head for 2$, then I certainly don't want what you have...". I count my 2$ as a payment for me to be left alone and get back to my hotel where I come to a startling and hilarious realization:

I just got propositioned by a 2$ Hooker!

I, quite honestly, thought that the 2$ Hooker was a joke, something we throw around as a sleazy comparison. But no, life has thrown another hooker in my path and once again made me happy for my position in life... I wonder when I'll meet my next hooker?
