I heard of LSD on dots in the eyes, cocaine up the nose, skin pops, main lining, huffing glue, and even sexual self asphyxiation ala David Carradine. But alcohol in the out door? Up the downstairs case? Rum in the bung hole? I had to look it up. Yup, it's there. You learn something new every day.

As for turvy topsy, I was in a client's office one day, standing before the owner who wanted my services in a special flight. He gave me a number that he could afford. I had noticed a paper on his desk oriented readable to him but I have a knack of reading upside down quickly. The note was from a friend of mine declining the client's request for services. I knew then that the client was desperate because most contractors would not run the route the client needed. I upped my price.

I left his office but got a phone call. Contract accepted.

Knowledge is power.
