The Brothel Token and the Pastry Chef

[against the wind]

I visited Italy for a friend's wedding in 2001. While there, we did a little sight seeing for a week. One place I visited was Pompeii. We rented these little gadgets we carried around our necks. Each building in Pompeii has a number assigned to it. If you punched that number into the gadget, it would tell you what the building was used for. It turns out the most popular building in town was the Bordello. Imagine that.
