Washington, July 4, 2008 (ANI)

 

As gas prices skyrocketed to new high this week, a 50-year-old Kentucky resident actually paid for sex with a 100-dollar card good for gas at Speedway gas station.

An undercover cop caught him having sex with a call girl last Friday at a Days Inn in Fort Wright.

Angela Eversole sold her body for just 25 gallons of petrol and has been charged with 'doing business without an occupational license!

Novak has been charged with promoting prostitution.

"When people are selling their bodies for gas, that's pretty sad," Ken Easterling, chief prosecutor in the Kenton County Attorney's Office, told a Cincinnati daily.

Extreme circumstances lead to extreme measures.

According to a CNN/Opinion Research poll, 31 percent of Americans have cancelled or shortened their fourth of July planned holiday weekend vacation because of the recent increases in gas prices. Even short trips out into the countryside during the Independence Day weekend could burn a hole in one's pocket.

For the first time in 15 years, traffic out of Washington D.C. is expected to be lower than in previous years beginning tomorrow.
