Half of my clients are non-native English speakers. I'm advising one such client on U.S. Logistics.

A recent message contained this phrase: "Some rent shelves in their whorehouse." I'm sure they do.

Sometimes business is slow. You have to get creative. When demand is down, no reason to waste unused worehouse real estate.

I would do the same.

I hope the warehouse shelves have minimum comforts like (thin) mattresses - otherwise business will only thrive for  the  . . .  er . . . bottom feeders . . . 😉

In a novel I just sent to my editor, a fellow who is the bane of the Police Chief's existence pulls into the police headquarters parking lot just as the Chief is pulling out of a parking spot and is stung iin a very inconvenient place by a bee. The Chief T-bones the man's car; on hearing that he himself was the only one injured, and the city had to pay  the man for his junker, the Chief had a mild stroke.

The man decides the leave town with his girlfriend, and buys a used hearse. He throws a mattress in the back and calls it an RV. They arrive at a seaside campsite, and everybody is intrigued with the hearse. He offers rides to nowhere for two, throws  in cheap bottle of champagne and two glasses, and charges $200 an hour. He has his career ahead of him..
