    You've given me new hope. I'm packing my bags for Vegas today. :-> "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

      http://www.usatoday.com/news/nation/2005-01-14-stripping_x.htm[^] I think this is ridiculous. Apart from any other consideration, how long can a person work as a stripper ?! For 10 years ? What are you supposed to do after that ? Become a cocktail waitress or something (worse) ? This sounds weird to me as a career choice.

        I'm 24. I've been working as a programmer for a little less than two years and I'll happily retire if I had the option :) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."

          Ok, stripping, fair enough it's not everyone cup of tea but if you're good at it then why not? Promoting it to fourteen years olds is unlikely to go to down well with conservative parents but it is a valid option. However... I don't get this: " Di Salvo heard about the exchange when the mother of a student called him the next morning. She said she was outraged when her son announced that he was forgoing college for a career in a field he truly loves — fishing. " What the hell is wrong with fishing? She was 'outraged'? :wtf:

                  What's sick is that this is news. I had a teacher once - substitute, when asked by one of the students (class whore, as I remember) to define "promiscuous", she just turned to the girl and said "It means people who screw a lot of different people", and then continued her lecture. Today, that would be a headline story.

                    Well, unless its ice fishing, I imagine you would be out there on a boat or something during the day sailing and fishing (or maybe its not that much fun, it sure sounds like fun when you've been sitting in an office since morning staring at a screen) "One of the Georges," said Psmith, "I forget which, once said that a certain number of hours' sleep a day--I cannot recall for the moment how many--made a man something, which for the time being has slipped my memory."
