IJMC - Prostitute's Babies

If I was thinking straight I might say something more interesting, 
however, I am not, so I won't.                               -dave

haven't heard it since unless I've told it.

A rather posh lady is showing her small daughter around Rome in the
back of a taxi.  They pass a railway station and the daughter asks: 
"Mummy, what are all those ladies doing standing around in very
short dresses?".  

The mother realises that she is referring to the prostitute day
shift, but hedges - "I expect they are waiting for their friends, or
looking at the Roman architecture, dear".


The taxi driver flips back the partition and says:  

"Go on, a-mother.  Tell her they're prostitutes!".

"Mummy what are 'prostitutes'?"

With a sigh, Mother tells all.  


The little girl is very interested:

"But Mummy, don't they sometimes have babies?".

"Well yes dear, I'm afraid they do."

"But Mummy, what happens to the babies?".

"Well dear, that's the interesting thing about it:  invariably they
become taxi-drivers".
