No experience is worth going through if you don't learn a lesson. Some wise man said that, we think, or it might be the new slogan for ShamWow pitchman Vince Shlomi.

Shlomi recently told TMZ.com that he "gave up" on dealing with hookers after his South Beach ordeal earlier this year that made more news than those super-absorbent thingies he hocks.

In February, Shlomi and his hired honey got into a free-for-all in a hotel room that ended with Shlomi's tongue nearly bitten off and the prostitute being punched upside the head by the pitchman. Shlomi allegedly paid the woman $1,000 for "straight sex" but got a little too frisky for her tastes.

Both face felony aggravated battery charges for the incident.

Shlomi's money maker, his tongue, appears to have healed and his new found perspective on the world's oldest profession should go a long way in making sure it stays in tact.
