Biff – Except nowadays people on the street talking to themselves are most often thought to be on cell phones, not crazies, so it’d invite yet more muggers.
We’ve been speaking of cultural differences between various groups. One that seems prevalent is Asians showering at night and non-Asians showering in the morning (and certain non-Asian PLUSAs opting to never shower).
Mrs. C and her family all shower at night. The reasoning (at least hers) that it is gross to get into bed at night when you are all sweaty and smelly at the end of the day. (Apparently she doesn’t mind sleeping with a spouse with a dirty mind, however). I happen to shower at night and in the morning. My hair does not come out pretty after sleeping on it all night, let me tell you!
Dave, I know but my friend didn’t ask for my opinion when he lent out the money. I knew the kid is shameless and wouldn’t pay it back.
DH, I offered the bat idea BUT I wouldn’t be doing it. An acquantance of mine offered me a number for Jamaican “collection agency” that he uses once in a while. They take like 50% but they guarantee 100% satisfaction. My friend is too nice of a guy to call because unlike Italian or Russian “collection agencies”, these guys don’t do much of taking. They produce physical injuries first, then resort to talking and collecting. We both didn’t want to get involved with that. Maybe option 2 in the long term.
Snappy, thanks for the advice. I told him the same thing basically.
“Since ‘redemption’ and ‘rehabilitation’ have recently become buzzwords in Philadelphia with the announcement of Michael Vick’s signing by the Philadelphia Eagles, now is the time for compassionate citizens to make a bold statement by giving the victims of animal abusers a second chance, too.”
Kens, in case your outright denial the other day that you are not a [whisper] lawyer didn’t convince me, your question just did. IMHO, your friend is SOL.
Um, memo to CGAr…you already won the PLUSA of the Month Award. What the heck are you still doing here during your vacation?
