MANCHESTER  A man, who last night offered a woman $1 and a cigarette for sex, was promptly arrested by police on a prostitution charge.

"Please, I haven't had sex in four years," Ali Yare Khalid, 21, of 375 Merrimack St., begged the woman, an undercover police officer, according to Capt. Richard Valenti.

Khalid was arrested at 10:24 p.m. near Lincoln and Merrimack streets, an area of the city known for prostitution and where police have repeatedly made arrests.

Needs to be arrested for insulting her by trying to get it that cheap.
There are five things, above all else, that make life worth living: a good relationship with God, a good woman, good health, good friends, and a good cigar.

Clearly these are the sort of criminals that threaten our society.

It's obvious that he should be allowed to move in to the new housing over in Bedford, since Manchester has made him so desperate that he can't even afford to offer the whole pack.
A plan is just a list of things that doesn't happen.

Based on the name, I'm going to guess he's one of the recently settled Somali refugees, to whom $1 would have been a lot of money, there...maybe he got smashed and forgot where he was?

That's still a bit insulting to the prostitute, though! grin

But it is still solicitation for prostitution.

Cigarettes are harmful to the health, you know.

Freedom is a heavy load, a great and strange burden for the spirit to undertake. It is not easy. It is not a gift given, but a choice made, and the choice may be a hard one. The road goes upward toward the light; but the laden traveller may never reach the end of it.  - Ursula Le Guin

True!  I support making the penalty fit the crime!  Tripple damages, even!

$3 and the leavenings of his latest pack of cigs should do it.   grin
