AI Thread Summary
The phrase "where there is muck there is money" is challenged in this discussion, as one participant shares an experience of receiving high-quality horse supplies without any financial gain, suggesting that the saying may not hold true in all cases. The conversation humorously touches on the idea of finding money in unexpected places, with mentions of "groats" and playful banter about the value of items like sheep's wool. The overall sentiment reflects skepticism about the adage, emphasizing that the vendor may benefit more than the buyer.

"where there is muck there is money"

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...
