Ladies Free
In Houston, I was in a cab when I saw out the window a tattoo parlor with a sign that said "TATTOOS $20. LADIES FREE WITH PURCHASE OF--"
And then we drove past before I could read the rest.
Jokes about getting a free lady aside, what on earth do you buy to get yourself a free tattoo on the side?

Hahahaha! The funniest ones are always anonymous.
In that case, I will take credit for it! - June
I live in Houston, and have driven by that thing a million times. I have yet to figure out what you have to buy to get the tattoo free, although a (moronic) high school friend of mine went there for an eyebrow piercing wherein you buy the jewelry and get the act of the piercing free.
So, how did you enjoy Houston? Large and depressing is the best way, I think, to describe it.
Houston was rather like many spread-out suburban places I've been (I grew up in Virginia Beach).
From what I saw, not terribly depressing -- the strip malls are spread out with plenty of space and trees in between.
And Rice University was absolutely beautiful. Like the Palace of Versailles! In Texas! Their main quad or green or whatever is actually shocking in its largeness and gorgeousness.
If anything, I was surprised at how "normal" it all was, after all one hears about Texas being a country unto itself.

The University area is very nice. One of the few spacious green places left. They also have stricter zoning laws in that area to keep it that way. The further out into the suburbs (or closering into downtown) you venture, Houston looks like an entirely different city.
The post about free piercing reminds me of a sign I took from a subway car once that says "Free ear piercing with repair of your torn earlobe".
I always thought "Isn't that what caused the problem in the first place? Isn't that kind of like if you were to go pick up your antibiotics for TSS and they gave you a free box of tampons?"
Mint makes a good point about the absurdity of "freebies" that just perpetuate the whole "sleeping with the enemy" cycle. I remember that when I was a kid, our family's pediatrician used to give my chubby siblings candy for having lost weight.
(Good thing this fucker didn't choose pediatric oncology as his specialty, huh?)
Sheesh!
i got a tattoo at one of those shops. if a guy gets a tattoo for $20 or more, a lady with him gets a free tattoo from their list of freebies. it was a really ghetto shop. dont see anything like that here in iowa.
