Alibi For Sale

If you are one of those who enjoy an occasional escapade, especially to a 'Love Hotel', and you are married, therefore worried about not being able to attend the secret meeting with that desirable someone, or about being caught out, help is now easily available at the click of a few buttons. And some cash naturally.

This is apparently big business. It has flourished rapidly for the last couple of years in Spain, and most probably longer in other countries too; America being the pioneer of such enterprise years back. Eliot Spitzer, the - Ex governor of New York, who was found frequenting prostitutes leading to his resignation, obviously didn't know about it. Shame!

 

Several Spanish companies are operating quite successfully, organizing clandestine love encounters in discrete tucked-away hotels. They take care of the reservation and pay the bill so as to avoid leaving trail of you ever having been there, and providing excuses and 'evidence' to present to your wife/husband/boy-girl friends, with solid 'proofs' that your absence from home/office is legit, with ample fool proof alibis.

You need to get online first of all. Click onto tucoartada.com (which in Spanish means youralibi.com) and is one of the several, establish a connection, pay about 200 € for a fake invitation to business seminar, old school reunion, congress, lecture ... whatever to be agreed upon or suits your status better, confirmation of your attendance, so that your wife/husband would be convinced that you are going away for the weekend or even a whole week earning your keep and hers. She might even lovingly pack your bag, and see you to the door, with a tender or tearful kiss, depending on how long you are going to be absent from home for.

Then on the appointed date, hour, location, you drive directly into the hotel car-park, where somebody would be waiting to pounce on you with canvas to cover up your car, and especially the number-plate. You will be escorted to the lift as you are not supposed to go up to the hotel yourself, in case you bump into a friend or, worst still, your wife's sister or your husband's brother-in-law. At the end of your stay the procedure would be repeated until you are safely away from the location.

Depending on how much you need for your alibi, and pay accordingly, there are small 'gifts' for you to casually drop out of your pocket, or spill out of your suitcase, like a box of matches with the hotel name, little bottles of shampoo or slippers from a certain hotel you never stayed in, trophies of some sport championship you never took part in, or receipts of meals in non existent restaurants but in that same location where you were supposed to be. Even disposable telephone numbers of the hotel where the conference was supposedly held, in case your wife called; and these numbers would be disconnected without a trace afterwards.

According to some of these companies, more and more women are going away for 'cooking seminars', demonstrations by famous chefs and culinary schools. The ladies too have learned the game that what is good for the goose is good for the gander.

I reserve my comment on this.
