Schwinn! Biking to brothel can save you bucks in Berlin
Here at ABG we try to stay on top of all the news that concerns greener ways of conducting the comings and goings of our readers and it is in that spirit that we bring you news of an offer that encourages more bicycle use. The Maison d'Envie (truly NSFW), a brothel in Berlin, is offering a discount for patrons who arrive by bicycle or Berlin public transport. Now, instead of paying €70 ($97.84) for a 45 minute visit, €65 ($90.85) will do the trick. Oddly, the €5 reduction extends to shorter stays as well making the €30 ($41.91) 15 minute session a mere €25 ($34.93).
There's no need to worry about working up a bit of a sweat pedaling your way there. Although some requests can be refused if guests are lacking in hygiene, showers are available in each of the rooms and their use is likely encouraged. So is the

Hehe.
By the way, the past tense of "smite" is "smote". As in: God must have smote this city.
Being "smitten" with someone is a synonym of "infatuated". I'm pretty sure that's not what you meant. :)

hmmmm.....
The 15 minute deal seems OK, but I would feel perhaps uncomfortable just hanging around for 10 minutes.

hahahahaha.... oh... OK... I would feel bad.
But, hey... you guys actually threw the "comings and goings" line in there.
hahahahahaha....

Ernie: first, its annoying when people give grammar lessons on blog comments. Second, if you feel you must, try to get it right. RonEbear was using the correct conjugation of "smite"; the simple past tense is, indeed, "smote". But the poster was using the past participle tense. "Smitten" is correct. e.g.
God will smite him
God smote him
God has smitten him
