By the time the third person's rod was in the fleshpot, not only was there a DEBT to pay the proprietress, but also some LIABILITY and risk of infection.
「Person pricking a fleshpot」immediately began racking up time with the shaman, creating an account payable, DEBT.
A「person with both prick and money, with the aim of emissions」will soon be racking up DEBT, LIABILITIES at a bunny ranch.
「Person who can demand payment of a liability」or,「person with a liability」that must be repaid. Note that these are both opposite sides of the same transaction, sometimes causing confusion. Normally, this glyph refers to the debt itself, regardless of the position as creditor or debtor.
「Person and wealth with thorns attached, blame, censure, torture, obligation, responsibility」as DEBT that will all later stab you if not careful, and make one bleed: LIABILITIES. Business and economic growth is hastened by using debt rather than accumulated profits as capital to fund expansion. However, historically, debt was a sign of a business not being managed well. Large DEBT formerly was a sign of a business failing, but now it is a certain indicator of centralized government, leveraged buy-outs, junk bonds, golden parachutes or other PRICKS WITH WEALTH. Obviously, in modern times, greed and short-term rush for profit has gotten the better of society, so debt in all its aspects is now considered normal, even as cities or entire countries declare bankruptcy or slide over fiscal cliffs.

Always keep in mind that these glyphs most likely were originally designed by groups of clever old men as vulgar riddles for their own entertainment (see 籒 for that), representing Chinese society many thousands of years ago, but intended NOT as a written or spoken language when created. If these glyphs had been intended for language use, the sages could not have possibly designed a worse system! Is it truly possible that all these glyphs started out as off-color jokes and puzzles? Yes! It is, and often with multiple correct answers to each riddle, the same as is true today. Sex had no shame in ancient China. Why would it? But, have there been necessary rewrites and altered explanations of the original elemental meanings over the centuries?

No one is suggesting these glyphs depict contemporary life in China, Japan, or anywhere else. This site describes glyph meanings, not people. These glyphs however, describe many and various things, including people, long before there were any notions of becoming politically incorrect. The question to be answered is, should these glyphs continue being used, by anyone, anywhere, for expressing language? (More...) Despite how seemingly bad our human existence is today, do you actually believe that the so-called good old days were any better? Or could they have been worse?

By the way, with a limited number of the same elements used by the sages again and again to form these glyphs, you should expect to find the same explanations again and again, as tedious as that may become, and as an inherent trait of any lexicon. This site explains multiple meanings of glyphs ignored or censored by other sources, generally as being too embarrassing to admit today.
