No Holes Barred
FOUND by Ethan Salter in Reno, Nevada
This was found on my roommate's car late at night near a creepy porn shop. We have wanted to call the number for a long time but have been a little afraid. I just called the number and asked the gentleman if he was a escort service. He said, "What?" I repeated the question and then he said, "No, I'm not." I told him thank you and hung up. I think of it still as a lovely poem.

No "holes?" A mistake or a clever, overtly sexual play on words?

What was Ethan's roomate doing at a creepy porn shop late at night anyway?

Are there porn shops that aren't creepy?

Who was the man that answered Ethan's phone call? Did he quit the no holes barred escort business or was the victim of a practcal joke?

There's just so damn many questions this find raises.

Know I won't be the only one but - isn't it 'no holds barred'?

Generally, whenever I read something that could be an amusing play on words, I wonder if it is simply a misspelling on the author's part.

"No holes barred"! Guess that's tellin' it like it is... but does that mean that some holds are barred?

Very interesting find - the 'penmanship' is kinda creepy. You might have dodged a bullet by NOT having success w/that number.

Classic on-the-meaner-side-prank. You don't like someone? You know their phone number? Post it in the paper as an escort or porn ad, put up flyers with the number on college bulletin boards, etc. But I wouldn't know anything about that. <clears throat, shifts eyes>

Who would write down somebody else's number as an escort? Come on, now.

That's just so wrong on so many levels, whatever the case happens to be.

"No holes barred" is actually a common saying in the sex industry. They definitely knew what they were spelling.

I'm surprised I haven't found something like this in Reno.

Great note. And yeah, I agree that the spelling was probably right for what was offered.

non-creepy sex shops: in Milwaukee there's a place called the tool shed. They don't have porn so much as toys though.

super creepy sex shops: when touring europe i took a sleeper car into poland. Got to Wroszclw at like 4 am. the only thing that was open was a huge porn/sex club IN THE TRAIN STATION. we didn't go in and instead walked around the city for three hours trying to find a hostel or hotel, cuz the sleeper car wasn't much good for sleeping.
