The oldest Profession.

I was never quite able to figure out how, by years of study, it would be possible to obtain professorial status. with this activity.

I have always been very fortunate to have nice females around me, including the cat! In the last five years or so, it has only been females! I find them easier to live with. I guess that I have been trained!

My own personal interests have been down the engineering line, so that is why I have trouble figuring out the requirements of the oldest profession.

I am happy nevertheless, that you are somewhat sympathetic to my lack of understanding.

I note that in numismatic terms, there is an extensive series of brothel tokens that have been issued ?marketed? in Nevada, I have seen one or two in Sydney coin shops.

The item shown at the start of this thread would make an interesting star to a collection of these. Also gives a clue that this 'profession' is the oldest.
