Good Christians These Ladies

From Ananova:

Prostitutes in a Romanian town have suspended their services for Lent.

The working girls in Botasani say they want to be good Christians and go to church for Easter.

The women say they will gather in groups and go to the priests to confess their sins and ask for forgiveness.

Now that's a confession booth I want in on. Of course, devotion to religion is only one factor that plays into it.

One of the girls, Luminita, told Ziarul daily: "Clients are very few these days because many of them are fasting or others keep their money for the Easter preparations. So we thought we shouldn't work this week either."

Why work if there is no work? These working girls are smart. For further proof, just look at the way they plan to enforce their sacrifice as a group.

The girls are threatening to use their influence with important clients, like prosecutors or policemen, to have any prostitutes who continue to work fined.
