Old joke, but on topic.
A professor asks a class if anyone there would be a sex worker if they were paid $1 billion for a year. Everyone raises their hand.
He then asks if anyone in the class would do sex work for one night if the pay was $5.00?
Class is all irate. "What kind of people do you think we are?"
"I know what kind of people you are. Now we're discussing the prices."
That joke has a bit of a history

A woman I know went to Vassar College. According to her, the original version was a Harvard professor talking to an all female class.
Wouldn't be surprised if Julius Cesar heard it from Seneca.
