02/10/2004: "Student accepts offer on virginity."
An 18-year-old university student has supposedly accepted a £8,400 offer for her virginity. She says she wants the money so she can graduate with fewer debts. The buyer has yet to pay and yet to collect.
Police are investigating whether the sale is legal. Her parents have said they'd rather she doesn't go through with it; the student's so plain looking, I'm surprised anyone would. Imagine a Christian librarian without the associated vim and you'll understand what I mean.
It's like the buyer would rather have a non-descript Yugo that's rare, small and handles clumsily, instead of a used Lotus that has fantastic bodywork and handles like a jet fighter. Eight grand would buy a hell of a flight.
