A woman and her
ten- year-old son were riding in a taxi in Mumbai. It was raining and
all the prostitutes were standing under the awnings. Mom, said the boy,
... what are all those women doing? They' re waiting for their husbands to
get off work,
she replied. The taxi driver turns around and says,
Geez lady, why dont you tell him the truth? They are hookers, boy! They
have intercourse with men for money. The little boys eyes get wide and he says,
Is that true, Mom? His mother, glaring hard at the driver, answers in
the affirmative. After a few minutes, the kid asks, Mom, what happens to
the babies those women have? most of them become taxi drivers, she
said.
