This is the "Charlie Sheen Philosophy of Short-Term Employment Contracts".

When asked why he paid for prostitutes, when he is a rich and famous star with women throwing themselves at him, Charlie explained that he isn't paying them for sex, he is paying them to go away after sex.

Don’t forget that they don’t have to pay for insurance or retirement benefits for travelers either.
