Over the past couple of days I’ve managed to squeeze in two strong 20 mile rides on the backroads of Buckingham, Pa. Lots of hills and little traffic. Today, one of the local club riders latched onto my back tire for the last 4 miles of the ride (which upped the pace a bit). Here’s a look at the out-and-back route (click here to see the whole route):

For the past 18+ years, I’ve worked in the field of public relations. A flack. A spin doctor. And, apparently, not much different than your average, everyday hooker.
You see, years ago I came across a top 10 list of reasons PR is similar to prostitution. Along the way, I lost the list. No amount of Google searching could find it. Until today.
So, in the spirit of David Letterman, I present you “The Top 10 Ways PR is Like Prostitution”:
(Image via Creative Commons courtesy of Davide Ferro.)1. Your ‘customers’ are called clients…like a prostitute.
2. You work in weird shifts…like a prostitute.
3. You get paid to make clients happy…like a prostitute.
4. The client pays a lot of money, but your employer keeps almost every penny…like a prostitute.
5. You are rewarded for fulfilling your client’s dreams…like a prostitute.
6. When you meet the client you always have to be perfectly groomed…like a prostitute.
7. But when you go back home it seems like you are coming back from hell…like a prostitute.
8. The client always wants to pay less but expects incredible things from you…like a prostitute.
9. When people ask you about your job, you have difficulty explaining it…like a prostitute.
10. Everyday when you wake up, you say “I’m not going to spend the rest of my life doing this”…like a prostitute.
