If i remember correctly besides Las Vegas doesn't honolulu have a high rate of prostitution? Because its kinda accepted? I mean we talk about the wonderful things about Hawaii and its culture etc. But don't fool yourselves hawaii does have a darkside and a history of human trafficking. Do i remember correctly? Oh and a ton of massage parlors too.
Would that be a geographical or an anatomical reference?
It's "down there" The "nether limbs"
I'm amazed, a world famous lady like Sadie Thompson of Hawaii could be forgotten so easy. Remember she was kicked out of Hawaii!
Rain, the story of Sadie Thompson and the missionary, Reverend Davidson, Wm. Somerset Maugham's classic.
RAIN — Lyrics by Newman Levy from "Theatre Guyed," 1933, Alfred A. Knopf; music from Mary Ellen Carter.
On the isle of Pago Pago,
land of palm trees, rice and sago,
Where the Chinaman and ****
dwell with natives dusky hued,
Lived a dissolute and shady,
bold adventuress named Sadie,
Sadie Thompson was the lady,
and the life she lived was lewd.
She had practiced her profession
in our insular possession,
Which, to make a frank confession,
people call the Philippines.
There she'd made a tidy profit
till the clergy, hearing of it,
Made her life as hot as Prophet,
driving her to other scenes.
So this impudent virago
hied herself to Pago Pago
Where the Chinaman and ****
to her cottage often came.
Trade was lucrative and merry,
till one day the local ferry
Brought a noble missionary,
Rev'rend Davidson by name.
Stern, austere and apostolic,
life was no amusing frolic.
Braving fevers, colds and colic,
he had come with prayers and hymns,
Most intolerant of wowsers,
to those primitive carousers
Bearing chaste and moral trousers
to encase their nether limbs.
In her quaint exotic bower,
'mid a never-ending shower,
Sadie Thompson, by the hour,
entertained the local trade.
Every night brought more and more men,
soldiers, natives, clerks and store-men,
Sailors, gallant man-of-war men,
while her gay victrola played.
"Ha!" exclaimed the irate pastor,
"straight you're headed for disaster.
I'll convince you who's the master,
shameless woman of the street
"Listen, Rev.," said Sadie tartly,
pardon me for punning smartly
"Though I get your meaning-partly -
still, alas, a girl must eat."
"Girl," he cried in indignation,
"choose at once between salvation
And immediate deportation
from this charming tropic glade.
Like a devastating plague,
0 Scarlet Dame of Pago Pago,
You're as welcome as lumbago,
plying here your brazen trade."
Sadie said, "Though I'm no scoffer,
that's a lousy choice you proffer,
Still I must accept your offer
though my pride has been attacked.
Come on, Rev., and let us kill
a flask or two of sarsaparilla
Here in my delightful villa
while I watch you do your act."
Let us veil the tragic sequel,
for a pious man but weak will
Find, alas, that he's unequal
to a lady's potent charms.
So his long suppressed libido,
sharp as steel of famed Toledo,
Spurning prayers and hymns and credo,
found surcease in Sadie's arms.
There beside the waters tidal,
urged by impulse suicidal,
Lay, next day, the shattered idol,
cleansed at last of sin and taint.
Here's the moral: Though a preacher
fail to make a fallen creature
Pure and saintly as her teacher,
she, perhaps, can make a saint.
Played that almost all night for a party from Down Under here: Tisa's Barefoot Bar
I found a few of the reviews to be hilarious! This one from a woman who went in with a bunch of guy friends (I * out a letter so as not to run afoul of any profanity rules):
"We sat there for about 15 minutes until a guy finally came and took our drink order. Yup, and just stare at me also like I'm some kind of plague. We just want to drink, and I just wanted some girls to show my friends a good time, but it looks like it won't be happening since I've become a coc*block to my 7 other guy friends..."
Holy smokes, Billy has been a bad bad boy! And drug dealing? Yikes!
That's just the "tip of the iceberg."
