I'm living the life of a rock star. I used to work in Japan and got vested in a small pension that just started paying out. At the current exchange rate, I receive about $2300 a year. Since I have been paying Social Security for more than 30 years, this will not diminish my govt pension. When I was there, I met and married my wife, so I got the 'women for free' part down too. If you can call handing over all my pay 'free'.

A man don't get (marry or date) no woman for free. She comes with a hefty price tag. She's a woman after all. Let's see, what are all the things you have to pay when you have a woman? I don't mean just money things, I mean . . . other things too.

Thread 'My experience as a hostage'
I believe it was the summer of 2001 that I made a trip to Peru for my work. I was a private contractor doing automation engineering and programming for various companies, including Frito Lay. Frito had purchased a snack food plant near Lima, Peru, and sent me down to oversee the upgrades to the systems and the startup. Peru was still suffering the ills of a recent civil war and I knew it was dicey, but the money was too good to pass up. It was a long trip to Lima; about 14 hours of airtime...
