The biggest mistake in life.
[QUOTE=Oakie; 1545952]I'm not sure I had time to think, but it flashed through my mind like this. He could deny it, my word against his. His supervisor could be his fuckin' uncle for all I know, hell they're all related down there anyways. I could be detained while it got sorted out, or even accused of making a false statement or even offering a bribe (he had the evidence). All I want is my fuckin Presidente at the bar.
I travelled a lot by car and bus in Eastern Europe just after the Wall came down and crossing the borders was a total shakedown. I was once pulled off a bus and held back in Slovakia while they let the rest of the bus go on. They also had this "road tax license" which they wrote out by hand for some non existent law that said you need it to drive on their main highways."how much is it?", then "I don't have that much cash ", then "how much do you have?", all the time smiling at each other. They got nothing but time, I got kids in the car, and I need to move on. I learned to carry very little cash with me. This kind of shit conditioned me to do the quick CBA, ROI. Analysis. (Hell, all my heroes in the movies got around like that).
OK guys, I fucked up, my apologies to all, and I'll try to do better.[/QUOTE]. Is the one we don't learn from. Enough said!
