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.

My husband made a similar comment when he showed me the story... His full name is Robert RICHARD Titcomb.... Dick Titcomb... His nature is already in his name...
Ya stole my thunder!
I am confused by this story. He was arrested in a corner? So.... he was there as a prostitute or as a pimp? :-/
It was a reverse sting, Kimmy. So he was there as a customer.
Ahhhh.... gotcha. Sorry I am not a whore nor do I buy whores, I am not up with the busting whores lingo. :-)
I didn't figure you for the "hanging out with whores" type of woman, Kimmy. That's why I wanted to clear it up for you.
Thanks!
That's why you're not in politics ;)
I suppose so!
Alright it's old but I cant resist. The difference between the sex you get for free and the sex you pay for is that the sex you pay for is ALOT CHEAPER.
Prostitution should be legal, maybe I will move to Nevada. After all, when I got divorced last year I had to pay for all the good sex we had, and the house she lives in, and the new car she drives, and part of my retirement for a year, and, and, and, the list goes on. At least the kids are grown and on their own or I would be paying even more.
Since marriage is out of the question for me does not mean I may not want a desireable companion for the evening so why shouldn't I be allowed to pay for it? I have been paying for it for years, man have I paid, so what is the difference? A piece of state issued paper makes it ok for a woman to take my money but it is illegal for a woman to take my money without that piece of paper? I would be better off if things worked the other way around. A hell of a lot cheaper and easier on the heart.
This is a late APRIL FOOLS! I couldn't find a subject earlier and this one worked out great. We did get divorced last year but things are friendly, the ex and I still get along, we just can't live, or sleep with, each other any more. I don't know if she has any male friends, it isn't my business, but I have finally got into the dating thing again. There are several nice ladies around town who, like me, have no interest in anything permanent but want someone to hang out with once in a while.
Huuummm. I pay for the dinners, drinks or entertainment so I wonder if I could be charged with a crime because I am "paying for it"?
Funny. But don't blame all the usury on women. I was married to a man who was fired from every job he had then just gave up. I ended up paying all the bills for both lawyers, all the debt from the marriage AND spousal support. It cuts both ways....
Madam, you must admit that your situation is one of the rare ones. It does happen, though.
I've even known guys that have been victims of physical abuse from their women. So yes, things do go both ways.
I would like to hear more about the arrest. Nowhere in any of the media stories does it state whether he was seeking sex from a man or a woman. "Not that there is anything wrong with that."-Sienfeld
That's what I was thinking. Could be that this is one of Obama's 'Down Low" buddies.
