From the Desk of Peter Amato
Everybody’s heard of
AESOPs fables…now comes Peter’s fables.
Once upon a time, a long, long time, ago (1970s) in a far, far away land. (California) lived a high school teacher who smoked marijuana with some of his students.
They told him how once a week they would go to Tijuana, where they would buy several pounds of marijuana and swim from Tijuana about a mile north with the marijuana strapped to their backs.
And turned this into several thousand dollars each week.
Being an enterprising person, within a month this high school teacher converted half the swimming team to nighttime drug runners.
Five years later this group was bribing the customs personal at the Tecate, Mexico border crossing.
But all good things must come to an end.
When one of the customs inspectors was arrested, this high school teacher knew there would be an investigation.
Everybody within his organization was on pins and needles but being the great savior he convinced them to keep quiet… this would blow over.
But at the same time he hired a lawyer to negotiate with the prosecutors for full immunity if he ratted everyone out.
Several months later he was the States star witness, and the only one that did not go to jail.
Moral of this story…
He that talks first walks free.
It makes no difference how guilty he is.
LOL , Is there a reason the Post was set up like it is?
ReplyDeleteJust wondering?
AESOP ---- thank you----the spelling police. and again, why the story?
ReplyDeletemike, I think Peter pre-formats his piece with background colors and various sizing (maybe) then pastes it into blogspot. It does not translate well into the blogspot program which has its own limited effects. Better to paste plain text into a post and then add blogspot effects.
