I met a man today who is living life to the fullest in spite of having broken his neck three and a half years ago. He does "stand-up" comedy (his own description), and we will all hear of him soon, I think. He is engaged to a young woman who is a bilateral above-knee amputee and a runner.

He told of his time in a rehab hospital (a county facility, as he had no insurance). Because of this hospital's location, there are a number of patients who have gang affiliations.

One day my new friend was checking his emails, and a gentleman sporting tattoos all over his body (at least what could be seen of it Wink

) rolled up behind him and looked over his shoulder. The following conversation took place.

Tattooed man: Are you on the internet?
My Friend: Yes I am.
TM: Kin I axe you a serious question?
MF: Uh, sure.
TM: You know how they buy stuff over the internet?
MF: Yeah.
TM: You do that?
MF: Uh, yeah.
TM: So you know how to do it?
MF: Yeah.
TM: So how do you steal stuff?

My friend knew better than to point this man in the direction of 419 scammers. He'd have learned quickly and taught the lads a thing or two we'd really rather they didn't know.
