Hi Lindy - no, I never had a prostitute for a client, certainly not on a prostitution charge. I've never even seen anyone charged for it when I've been in court for other matters. Hmmm. Wonder why? Maybe too many freebies these days. As for the Christmas tree thing, I guess it makes sense. Every year seems like some kids die because of a fire caused by a Christmas tree. Not as often as unvented heaters or unattended candles, though.

Did a google and found out that the live Christmas tree ban was already lifted, and in the meantime came across this: "According to the National Fire Prevention Association, there were 368,000 residential fires in the United States in 2000, the last year for which numbers are available. Of those, just 370 involved Christmas trees, living or plastic. About 6,100 involved outdoor grills. Compare that to the other causes: Smoking, 140,800; indoor cooking, 94,000; bad heating systems, 49,200; electrical problems, 38,300; clothes dryers, 14,300; and candles, 12,540." home.hamptonroads.com
