Well, I guess that explains the 100 lb. meteorite through my living room roof this morning and the flesh-eating bacteria that appeared on my foot at the same time as I greedily snapped up that BGRS and sit here greedily fondling all my khuks! They're mine I tell you!
ALL MINE!!!
By the way, I've written to Yangdu and bribed her to send all the Deals of the Day directly to me first thing each morning. I'm tired of competing with all you guys! Dang greedy sharks! Sweet has been especially irritating lately, greedily gobbling up knives that are supposed to be mine!
But, I guess I plead guilty.
Reminds me of when I first started driving cab in 1982. I was motivated to say the least. I was on the street with a driver in his late 50's, who poked along, took a 2 hour lunch break each 12 hour shift, stopped and visited with his friends for at least another hour, made sure to pull over behind the shopping mall and take a nap, then swung by his girlfriends house for a little midnight loving, then would hit 3 or 4 bars each shift for a drink or 6 before resuming his driving career. He usually booked about $60-$75 a night.
On the other hand, I was just 26, drove like a demon, ate with one hand while driving, took bathroom breaks only when I was about to explode, and would drive 2 extra hours each night if possible, pulling 14 hour shifts regularly. I was broke and had a newborn baby and wife to support. I set a company record for the most consecutive nights over $200, the most nights over $300, and the only nights ever over $400.
One night while I was taking my pay in cash this guy informed me in front of the other drivers that I was a "greedy bas^&rd", and was taking $ out of his pocket.
Yep, "no contest" there bud! (-:
N.
(Another reason I almost never list in these threads that an e-mail has been sent, so that only Yangdu knows of my greedy collection mania!
Won't happen again... )
