Current going rate for street hookers is $20 for a BJ, $50 for strait
sex. Special requests will cost extra. Back in your day you probably
didn't have crack cocaine. Street sex is cheap because of it.

but that was when they still
sold whiskey in 'fifths'! Now all I see are 750 ml or 1.75 litre bottles.

I thought a fifth was 750ml. In liquor stores that have the stuff
behind a counter, asking for a ffth always produces a 750ml bottle.
You forgot about the 1-liter bottles, as well (for those of us who
have graduated from fifths).

And the idea of hookers today scares the hell out of me.

It should. It's a scary underworld.
