I heard these words today and they really got me to thinking. They were used be a country fellow describing something he felt was very long. I thought it seemed funny enough, but then I thought...do whores have long dreams? Why the hell would they have longer dreams than anyone else? It wasn't funny to me anymore. I told my wife, and she thought it was funny...she said whores have the longest dreams because they dream of not being a whore all day. So I guess I got it now. Hmmm. It still ain't funny to me.

Are there better "long as a............? So in case I am faced with 'whores dream' again, I can have similar description that is actually funny.
Thanks.

I gave up trying to make sense of country people's analogies long, long ago.

Well, I've never heard that before. My first that is that dream is meant to be equivalent to aspirations. Cliché Ex. - "I'm only hooking till I can start my own salon." For someone to go that distance is a long way, in terms of lifestyle. It sounds like a rather dark sentiment being expressed. I suppose not though, if you don't have any sympathy for prostitutes.

As for alternatives, the only one I hear regularly is "long as a country mile." Which is more of a pun on the way folks who are used to wide open country reckon distance.

How is this ambiguous?

The whore dreams of a giant cock.

You all need to hang around docks or construction crews more.

how can we have a conversation about hookers without Plan9 around?

i'm sure he'll have more insight into this sort of hookery stuff. the only hookers i know are tall skinny things that exhume smoke are you suck on them. once you get a puff, you can dream all night

... remember the old joke:

Guy walks up to a gorgeous young woman and asks if she'll sleep with him for a million dollars. She looks at him and agrees that for a million dollars she will. He then asks if she'll sleep with him for fifty dollars.

"What do you think I am?" she exclaims.

He replies, "We've established that... now we're just haggling over the price!"

Just teasing, SM!

Bingo... it's a long shot dream. Like strippers/whores who are only doing it as quick cash until they can save up enough to do X. The truth is it almost never happens, as they get used to the quick/easy cash and end up blowing most of it on cloths/etc.

Don't you mean, "...blowing it for clothes/etc.?"

I don't know how long a whore's dream is, but in the middle of summer, Ontario can be as hot as a whore's drawers.

Your husband is a sailor. They don't say 'cuss like a sailor' for nothing.

Yay stereotypes!

Used to live in Ottawa, it doesn't get hot there. I live in Texas now, it gets pretty warm. Used to live in El Centro California.... was 120 degrees F in the winter. That's hotter than a hoochie's coochie.
