Amsterdam -- Unbeknownst to anyone visiting Amsterdam, and perhaps to the good citizens of Amsterdam itself, brothels were illegal in Holland for over 80 years -- that is, until last October, when the Dutch Parliament voted to legalize the country's 2,000-plus love shacks.
Things have come a long way since then. A Dutch brothel chain recently announced its desire to offer its special brand of services to air travelers. That's right, the next time you fly into Amsterdam's Schiphol Airport, you really might be able to get "coffee, tea or me."
Theo Heuft, spokesperson for the Yam Yum Caviar Club (seriously), told Reuters the brothel chain aims to relax -- or perhaps reinvigorate -- weary and stressed travelers with champagne, caviar and erotic massages. "They could pop in before going home to the lady wife," suggested Heuft.
Just one little question nags us: Will this be duty-free?
