Entrepreneur
It's legal to be a prostitute in all European countries.However in five of them it's illegal to be a customer. This was put in place partly because it's a bit of a grey area whether the prostitute is always willing or possibly forced to do it, but a customer is always willingly visiting a prostitute.
In most European countries it's perfectly legal to be both a prostitute and a customer though, but illegal to own a brothel or be a pimp. If the prostitute has to hand any of their money over to anyone else besides the government in the form of taxes, that other person is in big trouble. Here prostitutes are considered self-employed entrepreneurs.
And then there's a few countries where brothels are legal, but regulated.
No reason why specifically Canada is the customer here. I just needed a harmless dude from a country where prostitution is illegal.

Lucky Accident
This is old news, but nobody I know knew about it, so there's a good chance most of you didn't either. Not everything that can go wrong does. Sometimes you get a lucky accident.And I know you probably expected something else this week, but quite frankly it's becoming difficult to joke about all the terrible shit happening right now, so I'll focus on more positive things. Expect to see a lot more of Sister America for a while.

Bye bye ambassador
Soooo Denmark got a tiny bit obsessed with the U.S. ambassador and his husband. They even got their own TV show, and the queen threw a big goodbye party for them where Rufus was knighted.It will be a tough act to follow for Laura.

No day like today
Qin Shi Huang who united China wanted history to start with him, so he tried to destroy all documents about the past and killed every historian he could get his hands on.He wasn't exactly successful seeing as I got this info from my historian friend from Sweden, and I assume he comes from a long genetic line of historians.

Break the bars
Fun fact: The Scandinavian prisons are practically hotels compared to most other places in the world, but you have to pay for your stay. When you get out a bill is sent to you so tax payers won't have to pay for your stupidity. The government will then help you get back into society so you can get a job and pay it off.See more of America Sweden Denmark Norway Finland Russia

Epiphany
A Swedish friend of mine works as a history teacher, and he sometimes send me little gold nuggets like this.We don't know if the Scandinavians kept using the English king's face on their coins because they thought that was what coins was supposed to look like, or if they did it because it made it easier to use the coins in England.
