That there is the photo CBS News used to illustrate Dallas's promiscuity, which made me think that it was all our our honky-tonkin' that makes us America's sixth-sluttiest city.

That there is the photo CBS News used to illustrate Dallas's promiscuity, which made me think that it was all our our honky-tonkin' that makes us America's sixth-sluttiest city.

Dallas came in sixth, behind San Francisco, Miami, Seattle and Portland, the sluttiest city of all. Oh, and Pittsburgh beat us too, but that was apparently due to a data anomaly that statisticians call "Ben Roethlisberger."
