business talk of the day.

from the front page of today's wsj:

One mall owner says he talked to Steve & Barry's about leasing space, but the terms they demanded were absurd. "Leasing to them would have been like bringing prostitutes to a party to look popular," he says. "They might look good, but you're paying for it."

if he means prostitutes with lots of school spirit, i totally concur.
