Iowa Girl Buys Prom Date For $29.95
*snicker*

<snip>

LA PORTE CITY, Iowa -- Stu Hemesath is earning nearly $30 -- as a prom date.

The Union High School senior from La Porte City, Iowa, auctioned himself off as a date on eBay. Rachel Kay is shelling out $29.95 to have Stu escort her to the prom.

The Cedar Falls student said she didn't think she would actually win the auction. Rachel said she just entered a bid to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.

Stu thinks his date will be getting a lot for her money. He said he's popular and a wrestler. Stu added that girls tell him he's pretty hot.

2. Is it to early for the obvious "cheap date" joke?

3. She's learning early
She's got the sex-in-the-city attitude down perfectly.
The Cedar Falls student said she didn't think she would actually win the auction. Rachel said she just entered a bid to make her ex-boyfriend jealous.
Someday, she will meet a wonderful young man and drive him to suicide.

5. I'd only half agree
He has set his price too low. He's now only a thrity-dollar gigolo.

On the other hand, now that he has accepted the principle behind it, he can negotiate for better prices.

Something to aspire to.
