Reminds me of that Liam Neeson movie, Taken.

So, I'm in traffic, and it's a nasty fight for position. Luckily, my beautiful young wife has a wonderful idea. Without a word, she slides into my lap and soon, I'm into the young girl, if you know what I mean. It was the best traffic fight I've ever had.

Does the guy in the illustrations look more like Charlie Sheen or more like Ted Cruz? I'm leaning toward Cruz, because of the smirk.

My Mom said in the 1950-60s the white slavery was house wives stuck in split levels in the suburbs with kids while hubby drank with the boys after work and flirted with female office help.

@Virtual - Thought you were transforming into Scoobey-Doo for a minute there.

Congress authorized a commission to look into the "white slavery 1910" crisis. The result:
1. White slavery did not exist. The girls could "earn" more in prostitution than in the office or at the local store. Surprise, surprise, the girls went where the money was.
2. The commission was headed by a young public servant and lawyer from the US Justice Department by the name of J. Edgar Hoover.
