Voltaire was dining at a noble's house and was sitting next to a noblewoman. The topic somehow drifted to sex and prostitution...
Voltaire: Madam, would you sleep with me for 500 francs?
Noblewoman: Of course not.
Voltaire: How about 5000 francs?
Noblewoman: Of course not.
Voltaire: How about 50000 francs?
Noblewoman: Stop asking me these questions.
Voltaire: How about 5 million francs?
Noblewoman: Maybe.
Voltaire: How about 1 franc?
Noblewoman: Who do you think I am?
Voltaire: We've already established what you are, now we are just negotiating.
