Many years ago, when the Editor was still a young, wet-behind-the-ears advertising copywriter, he took a trip to New York with his business partner.
They were supposed to meet their client in front of the hotel at 7:00, but the Editor, being a prompt sort, arrived a few minutes early. While he was standing there mesmerized by the passing parade of people, an attractive young woman approached him and said, “Want to go to a party?”
The Editor, still innocent and barely off the farm, replied, “Oh, that’s very nice of you, but I have to meet a client in a few minutes.”
A few minutes later, when his business partner arrived, the Editor said, “You know, those stories about New Yorkers being rude aren’t true. A woman just walked up and invited me to a party.”
The business partner looked at him and said, “You are the dumbest man I ever met.”
Somehow, we don’t think that’s quite how President Obama’s Hawaiian pal found himself in this situation:
The Honolulu Police Department confirmed that a close friend of President Barack Obama was arrested Monday in connection with a prostitution sting case.
Police arrested Bobby Titcomb, 49, a Punahou School classmate of Obama, at 9:40 p.m. in downtown Honolulu at the corner of Pohukaina and South streets. He was released after posting $500 bail, police said.
Police arrested four men in connection with a reverse prostitution sting involving a fake online escort website, sources said.
Titcomb usually spends the holidays with the president and his family when they spend time in Hawaii. He has been seen playing golf and attending picnics. The first family attended a barbecue at Ticomb’s Waialua home in December.
C’mon, the guy’s name is Titcomb. He was almost forced into this situation.
