story #1: some primerica rep was trying to do a "financial education" class in the fukking library of all places
i walked by the room- three people listening to her- "think of your children"
the whole thing seemed dusty as hell
story #2: guy in a wrinkled suit hustling people at mcdonalds
motherfukker looked like columbo
he was trying to recruit two younger guys
(something to do with energy drinks)
one was squirming- he appeared alert- this was a scam
but was staying to make sure his friend didn't get trapped
..didn't matter.. other dude in camo pants didn't have the $300 initiation fee
they got up to leave..
one of them had his entire family sitting in a battered car waiting for the "meeting" to be over
i half-expected he would need to add some motor oil before starting it up
