The madam
opened the door and saw a rather dignified, well-dressed, good-looking man in
his late forties or early fifties.
"May I help you sir?" she asked.
"I want
to see Valerie," the man replied.
"Sir, Valerie is one of our most expensive
ladies. Perhaps you would prefer someone else", said the madam.
"No, I must
see Valerie," he replied.
Just then, Valerie appeared and announced to the man
she charged £5000 a visit. Without hesitation, the man pulled out five
thousand pounds and gave it to Valerie, and they went upstairs. After an hour,
the man calmly left.
The next night, the man appeared again, once more
demanding to see Valerie. Valerie explained that no one had ever come back two
nights in a row, as she was so expensive. There were no discounts. The price
was still £5000. Again, the man pulled out the money, gave it to Valerie, and
they went upstairs. After an hour, he left.
The following night the man was
there yet again. Everyone was astounded that he had come for a third
consecutive night, but he paid Valerie and they went upstairs
. After their
session, Valerie said to the man, "No one has ever been with me three nights
in a row. Where are you from?"
The man replied, " Edinburgh ."
"Really",
she said. "I have family in Edinburgh ."
"I know." the man said. "Your
sister died, and I'm her solicitor. I was instructed to deliver your £15,000
inheritance in person..."
The moral
of the story is that three things in life are certain
------
1. Death
2. Taxes
