  1. Rode around on spacecrafts, like the space shuttle, for example.

    Good: The views.

    Bad: The weightlessness, and lack of girls willing to do any more than be floaters.

    Also, getting places was a bitch until they installed a GPS voice navigation unit.

    question: What did I do before trading?

    Answer: Dream about it

    Well actually I had a few shitty jobs here and there.. Working as a bagger at publix for 6 days, Dominos for 1 day, a retirement community for 2 weeks, and at a car wash for 3 months. :)

    ozzy said it earlier.. "They can lick my balls now".. I agree :)
