If President Clinton offered you a cool $10Million (tax free) to sleep with him, would you? Say you would never be caught and or revealed unless you yourself did the revealing.
For ten big ones? You bet.
I don't remember if I ever told this story online. If I did, pardon the repetition. Many years ago in New York I knew a woman, then about 35, who worked in the garment industry. She'd become bored with her job, had quit it, and was looking (not very hard) for another. In the meanwhile she was working as a waitress at a West Side restaurant. She was there for some time; became friends with the proprietor, got to know many of the regular patrons. One night a man she'd been friendly with for months offered her $2000 to go to bed with him once. As I've said, he was by no means a complete stranger; she knew him, knew a good deal about him, knew other people who knew him.
She turned him down. This particular Indecent Proposal natually became a topic of conversation among her friends. And I have to confess, we all agreed that $2000 wasn't enough, but that sooner or later...
A number of factors might alter the equation. If one were married or in love, if one already had hundreds of millions, if the guy were REALLY disgusting, and so on.
Willey, of course, found herself in a difficult situation at that moment. She was desperately in need of money, and no doubt extremely distraught about her husband's financial peculations. Hard to say what she might have had in mind, and frankly if she thought she could help herself and her family by playing on Clinton's attraction to her, well, who would blame her? |
