Ways to Score a Buck

My intentions were good. Have a few quiet drinks, some intelligent conversation, and maybe stop off on the way home to help some street kids - teach them to fish, or weave silk, or make their own sniffing glue. It's important to help them to help themselves.

The Lesbian:
As I suspected, the girl with the Thai sugar-mamma was bullshitting. The Thai sugar-mamma is actually a Belgian sugar-daddy who's due back in town today. I was hoping she'd keep the lie going long enough to tell me about, "Tie Me Up and Take My Picture Night."

Would You Pay $1?
So many ways for a girl to score a buck. She can:

• Give a 5 minute massage.
• Roll a joint.
• Or, She can stuff a tissue between her armpits, soak up the sweat, and let some dude inhale it like an oxygen mask.

That's the latest one at Sharky. The things they don't teach in B-School.

The Camera:
A few days ago I wrote about a stolen camera. The saga continues. After spending 2 nights in jail, Camburglar copped to selling the ($500) camera for $40 to a, " a dark-skinned Khmer sporting slick-backed hair with a part down the center." The cops know him well, so off they went to the Stolen Camera Shop (no sign in English.) The fence wasn't there and neither was the camera. Back to the police station where our victim was given the option of sending the girl to jail for a while or working out a compensation plan. He agreed to let her go in return for $50. The cops sent Camburglar to Kampong Cham to borrow the money. We'll see if she ever returns. Either way, 2 nights in jail should put an end to her criminal career - at least until the baby is born. Retrieval costs to date: $35 and counting.
