We all do stupid things from time to time, some more then others. When it came to being an escort though I really was not trying to take too many risks. Yet there were a few times that I did. If anything goes wrong in a session the only thing I had to rely on were my own reflexes, so doing things that dull them were never in my best interest. Even so, if I had time to go grab food I would often also grab a drink, and a few times I got a little wavy.
Once I was in the suburb of Philadelphia, and dropped by a Houlihans for a late lunch. Afterwards I went back to my room, freshened up, and layed in bed waiting for my next encounter, which was a first timer. Mind you I was pretty done in from 3 glasses of wine, what can I say the bartender was cute. I lucked out greatly that day, as the fella that walked through my door turned out to be a huge sweetie pie. Just one of those Teddy bears. I don't recall any details :) but I did become his ATF and he did become a regular.
In conclusion sometimes being drunk helps.
