Yeah, the best man is completely out of touch with reality and didn't even know what an "escort" was.
I feel like that goes beyond being out of touch with reality, and is more like having lived the last 20 years of his life under a rock. At least your H ended up with a (legal) out for not going.
What a fucking moron! It's great that Jer has an out that no one can question. Are they looking for actual strippers now? Or will that guy finally respect the groom's wishes and let it go?
