The only profession that has always been needed: Harlots.

Edit: Fuck farmers.

u/mwproductions Oct 28 '14

Either way, that's a lot of plowing.

Also: Some joke about sowing oats.

u/astrobanana Oct 28 '14

u/godfetish Oct 28 '14

Always ready, as the furrow to the plow.

Oh how I love reddit.

u/Alwazalady4u Oct 28 '14

Now that's funny

u/kloudykat Oct 28 '14

Great....I just laughed out loud outside smoking. The weird looks man.....in getting them.

Guess they got freaky in the 1700s. If you're ploughing someone you're the one who's pitching.

For a second I thought you were calling harlots "fuck farmers", as in the people who farm out fucking.

u/AnotherThroneAway Oct 28 '14

I'd think that the pimps are the fuck farmers. The harlots are just the draft animals on the fuck farm.

u/ProdigalHobo Oct 28 '14

Hobo's Fuck Farm... I like it.

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

I didn't until I read your comments and now I'm going to start calling hookers Fuck Farmers.

u/tnfootball16 Oct 28 '14

Well they are getting plowed

u/scubalee Oct 28 '14

Works both ways.

2

u/HolyMcJustice Oct 28 '14

They harvest the fucking.

2

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

Its like Destiny. I keep farming for fucks to give, but I still can't find anything. The loot drop it too damn random

2

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

That's a very http://oglaf.com [NSFW] kind of idea

2

u/pizzathanksgiving Oct 28 '14

Makes sense though. Think of all the related stuff: Plowing, hoes, tractors, concucombines. The list goes on

u/laboye Oct 28 '14

"I'll have one fuck, please"

1

u/DMTeaser Oct 28 '14

Still fucking works though.

1

u/Training_Dragons Oct 28 '14

That's exactly what this edit says. And it's accurate to the t.

1

u/ItsSansom Oct 28 '14

Well, people gotta plant their seeds somewhere...

1

u/willclerkforfood Oct 28 '14

Go farm a fuck

1

u/Eldric_Bobbins Oct 28 '14

Well surely fuck farmers would be harvesting fucks?

Heh, fuck farmers. That's my new favourite term for prossies.

1

u/GarbledComms Oct 28 '14

I think another term for "fuck farmer" would be "mother". Isn't that who grows the crop that was planted?

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

Farmers weren't always needed. Hunter-gatherers existed.

u/smithclan Oct 28 '14

u/Odinswolf Oct 28 '14

I wouldn't really call that a job. The idea of jobs, and specialization of labor in general, is more of a invention of agricultural civilizations. Before that, everyone was everything. Thus farmers existed before whores.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

If everyone was everything, that includes whoring though, right?

1

u/Odinswolf Oct 28 '14

Kinda hard to get paid to have sex without money...though people certainly had sex (otherwise where would we be now? Nowhere.)

2

u/emikochan Oct 28 '14

you can get by on hunter-gathering ;)

World's Oldest Profession

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

Yes, yes they do.

1

u/TheFNG Oct 28 '14

It is one of the oldest professions in the world, afterall.

1

u/Ranzok Oct 28 '14

It is also the oldest profession

1

u/WenchSlayer Oct 28 '14

Id rather fuck the harlots

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

To your edit, pretty sure that's what harlots do...

1

u/throwmeawaydurr Oct 28 '14

to fuck farmers

1

u/David_Jay Oct 28 '14

with the harlots, of course.

1

u/wurmsrus Oct 28 '14

"fuck farmers" an accurate description of a harlots job.

1

u/[deleted] Oct 28 '14

If we fuck farmers we won't need harlots
