In the "mine is bigger than yours" debate, "Sabre" offered the following:"I started when I was 19 as well. I am 35 and quite frankly, the money is nice but pretty much a number game with me as well. I can make $20K a day but the challenge has been to start fresh everyday and produce something before the close...EVERYDAY.
Ya know, you guys kill me! I thought in the interest of oneupmanship I should offer my own TRUE STORY!!!
Well, I retired when I was 32. It wasn't always this easy though. Nope, going back to my formative years, I had to trudge through four feet of snow on my 11 mile walk to school everyday....starting with kindergarten. I graduated at age 18 from MIT, I have a PHD in physics and a couple of lessor degrees in chemical engineering and library science.
Upon graduation I was immediately drafted, did 6 tours in "Nam" and got 7 purple hearts and 2 congressional medals of honor.
After I returned home I could not find work because there was very little demand for a 24 year old nuclear physicist who was missing both arms and legs and was blind. So, I stayed at home with my Father who was himself a decorated war hero.
Some days my father would take ill and I would have to pull him 96 miles to the veteran's hospital in a Radio Flyer wagon....scooting along on my mechanics creeper, pulled by our trusty dog Prince. We did Ok usually except when we got to the uphill leg crossing the interstate.
Some people complain and give up, I have never given up anything....as evidenced by this blue crab claw embedded in my ass. I dropped a hamburger off the Pompano Beach Pier when I was 6 years old...I was determined not to let the incident spoil our vacation. Mom and Dad had saved up for 5 years for the bus tickets to Florida, and their life savings was only enough to buy me a single Krystal burger. Anyway, I dove off the pier and was wrestling the hamburger away from a 26 ft. white shark when the blue crab tried to grab the hamburger.
You see, this is all just minutia, dull, boring, incidental stories from an otherwise normal and happy life. Were it not for my extraordinarily large and powerful "member" there would not be much about me that anyone would call unique or exceptional. The fact that I have a fleet of ocean going yachts or a veritable plethora of highly sought after Beverly Hills mansions is only the outward trappings of a successful life driven by good honest hard work.
Oh, I NEVER invest in the stock market, my Ma taught me that was ill-gotten gain.
Remember folks, EVERYTHING you read on the internet is TRUE!!! There is an international consortium of mafia backed
security police who make sure of that. If you lie on the internet they will come visit you one day when you least expect it and remove all your fingers, one at a time with a pair of vice-grips.
So, if you are ever tempted to be "less than honest" remember, you were warned! |
