bob, ok. how can we make a million bucks on this information?

just kidding. someone is. one of my previous associates, who wanted to marry me years ago, (in my youth, when i was still good looking), used to work w international oil deals. one day she closed a huge oil deal w Nigeria. i said "holy cow! the commission on that must have been a million dollars!"

her response: " a million dollars? heh!"

i.e. chump change . obviously a lot more.

she was doing very very well. i don't know where she is today. i haven't heard from her for many years. i guess we don't frequent the same circles
