When I herd in the news today that former Hollywood madam Heidi Fleiss was going to open a “Stud Farm” in Nevada, I thought that the story was about horses. The first image that came into my head was that Miss Fleiss had learnt her lesson, after her time in prison, and had decided to go legit a start a business with someone like J P McManus. Brief thoughts of Willie Carson having to interview her for Sunday grandstand during Cheltenham Gold Cup Week danced through my imagination.

I was brought down to earth with a bang when someone pointed out that a “Stud Farm” is a term for a brothel which employs male prostitutes. Oh well no Sunday Grandstand for Miss Fleiss, unless of course they drastically change the rules of the synchronized Diving.
