Slick talk

Hi kids!

While we were waltzing around the streets of Lucaya today we were
approached by a young lady promising to shower us with free stuff.
Free dinners, free limbo dancing, free bonfire parties, free tee
shirts, free rum, free scooter rides, man, it sounded great!

I asked her,"Why are you giving us all this free stuff?"


She said,"I get paid $60 of I get you to take it."

I'm thinking,'free stuff for me, $60 for her. Sweet deal'

"Oh", she said. "And they try to sell you a time share."

A time share is where you give somebody a whole lot of money and they
promise to let you take a vacation there once a year for a whole long
time. If it's a nice place and doesn't go out of business it can be a
good deal, I guess.

So old Angel Jen says,"We'll go!"

I was so surprised. I never expected her to do it, but I went along
for the ride.

We took a ride over to the resort and it was really nice. It had great
rooms, a great beach and pool. This lady gave us a real hard sell.
That means she tried every which way to get us to sign up, give her
$16,000, and become 'real Bahamians'.

When we said we would think about it and decide by tomorrow, she got
mad and didn't want to talk to us anymore.

So we left. The lunch we got was good but I'm not sure it was worth
the hassle. But it's another brick in the wall of experiences in life.

So be good kids and maybe some day you can enrage a slick talking
Bahamian predator salesman like we did.
