| When, and more importantly how and why, did pimping become a revered and honourable career rather than the most unmanly and disgusting occupation on the green earth. |

Possibly back in the 20's when Jelly Roll Morton did some of the first jazz piano records. He was the world's greatest piano player and gentleman of leisure.  |

It did? When?
I always approved of the Biblical admonishment: "Thou shalt not suffer a Pimp to live."  |

There was a small typo on that verse of scripture. They left out, ".....at prices like these!"
Jelly Roll was part of the New Orleans culture that hopefully won't completely return. Here's a link with more about him and his music.

Ah, hanging's too good for that sort.
I'd be inclined to let the punishment fit the crime - then make a TV programme out of it called "Ride my pimp" |

| "Woe to those who call evil good and good, evil..." I don't remember which or how many of the Old Testament prophets said it, ... but yup. Thar 'tis. |

I didn't specify a method. 
I do tend to favor "Throw him to the Wimmen!" like my T'salagi and Choctaw ancestors would have done. |

Although... the impaling stake like someone on the Slovakian side of the family is rumoured to have favored has its good points, too...

Sure: one good point in the dirt and one in the ribcage. Quite uncomfortable, but that's rather the point.
Then again, the seventh commandment was only 10% of what Moses brought down on the tablets. The other nine are still just as valid. |

Our town librarian told me the video of "The Ten Commandments" was the most frequently stolen item in the library.  |
