From the Archives: Sin, Samantha and the Talmud

Check out some of the old Unpious favorites! This week, “Sin, Samantha, and the Talmud” by Chezkel Shammes.

Check out some of the old Unpious favorites! This week, “Sin, Samantha, and the Talmud” by Chezkel Shammes:

“While we were talking she caressed the fuzz on my arm. When she put her hand on my thigh I knew she had me. I wasn’t so naive to think this was anything more than a business transaction. She had something to sell, and I was an eager buyer. I might say I wasn’t looking for romance, or even a personal connection. But there was an illusion of that. People who work in this industry know what men want, and it isn’t, in most cases, just brute sexual gratification.”

Check out The Great Strip Club Debate in the comments, including these zingers:

Tzippi Langstumpf: shouldn’t the women be crying foul and calling for a lynching of the cheating bastard?

mendy chossid: Tzippi – when Haman looked up at the girl he got shit in his face but the girl dropped to her death !

Insider: People Cheat. Period….Gimme a break here! Moral Shmoral, we’re humans for christ’s sake.
