I knew a “Lady of the Night” who was on a congressman’s payroll. She was scheduled to work 1 day a week during the day & worked every night to earn her pay!!!

@Tropical_Willie I wonder if the employer put a cap on hat expenses.

My father was his supervisor (my dad told to get a broad brim hat and signed the expense report) ! !

Later same guy was in Tehran Iran, when the Iranian students overtook US Embassy. My dad signed for First Class tickets to India for him to get out.
