I don't know where they're going, but you can usually get nine ladies dancing for about $20 each, or at most $40 on a busy Saturday night.

Does that include the Champagne Room?

There's really no need to go in the champagne room. Afterall, you know what Chris Rock says about it.

Do these prices take Black Friday sales into account? I saw turtle doves way cheaper than that at Walmart.

Actually the \"calling birds\" are not canaries, they are, instead, \"colly\" or \"collie\" birds, which in turn are common blackbirds. I suspect those are less valuable than canaries, but have no idea by how much.

BTW these blackbirds are the same as those that are \"baked in a pie\" in the nursery rhyme Sing a Song of Sixpence.

This is especially true if they talk you into the Champagne Room.

I would have never guessed swans to be so expensive. Perhaps True Love should consider renting her ladyship some swans.

seems bogus that so many are 0.0% y/y.

also wished that popken would have formatted the text into a readable format instead of doing that amateur copy-paste job.

1971 is the modern standard (baseline) of inflation for now, btw. PNCW should do a bit of research and start at, umm, the historical starting point?

AGREE. This non-formatting is pretty hard to read...

So I'm guessing the maids-a-milking, the pipers & the drummers are all non-union? Because they seem to work pretty cheap.

For 800 bucks per lady, I hope you get more than a dance.
