Its time you accept defeat and get on with your life
One other thing...Frisco never answered our question regarding the cost of a "short time"

See, more disrespect from you Yankees! We were never defeated, we were just short on shoes!

Yeah Bob, that's right. He never did answer that did he. Hey Kid, what's up with that?

The commies say that short times are now against the law, so there aren't any :re: . BTW, does anyone want to buy a big, orange bridge not too far away from my house?

Saigon was the only place that I got asked if I wanted a short time. This was by motorbike guys, and only at night. I usually told them "No, I have a wife back at the hotel." This worked. They never did give me the hard sell.

When we returned to Saigon near the end of the trip, I went for a walk after dark. Sure enough, got some offers. I acted like I was interested, to find out how much, with one of them. He started out at $25. After about 5min., I get him down to about $10. He wasn't too happy when I told him I changed my mind . So Andy, what's inflation done to short times in Saigon?

Post Thanks for the Pics

Will be looking for more.

Just a thought but have you ever thought of seeking seasonal work as Santa Claus?

Tom
You did good, 10 bucks for a short time after 35 years....Thats only 500% increase in the cost of living. Did that include the hair cut, massage, and steam bath?
