Unexpected Good FortuneTravelling through Seattle a good 15 years ago, I remembered an old friend I used to blow up Action Men with. We were bored, nothing to lose , so I looked him up in the phonebook. He was the only one of that name in there. "Come and stay," goes he.
Me and my mates were living in a car at that point so a bed was a novelty. After searching for a while, we rock up to a very posh mansion on Puget Sound with its own Helipad. "Come flying," goes he.
Has your luck held out recently?

dot commandoBlagged a job with an old mate at the height of the dotcom boom just after his company had been estimated at having millions of dollars worth of contracts (of course it didn't was all on paper). Got him to sign my contract while he was drunk out of his mind and with God knows how much coke up his nose. About a year later when the general manager called me in to ask what it was I actually did aside from potter about the office making fun of people, he pulled my file out and started reading. It was at this point he realised I was getting paid more than him and went mental. Much hilarity ensued and I eventually left to go to the back up job I'd had in place for six months. Got paid out to go too!
