rollzone, I think you’re on to something. Given the dismal state of our educational system, we have a great opportunity here to make math relevant to students, especially drop-outs, everywhere. Maybe a story problem: If it costs two hand jobs to purchase 10 cigarettes, how many hand jobs are needed for 15 cigarettes?

hello. to be clear, if i show up as a visitor with a
case of cigarettes, i leave owning ten bitches for one
week? or 1 light smoker for 2 1/2 months? 5 cases gets
me a year? 5 cases of cigarettes buys me a year of
sodomy and anal intercourse, or is the combination also
negotiable? compared with the costs of street sex ...
does the warden cost a case for conjugacy? could i
bring in a bus load of customers? ..pimpin the tobacco
into serious salads (Benjamins). what about cigars?
