It was for him too. Take a look and you can clearly see where he touched
down on a previous flight.

Bilking one's co-religionists out of their money is called "affinity
fraud".

But, it must be OK, if Gentiles are doing it too...

Jews Fear Madoff Case Stokes Hate

By JENNIFER PELTZ, AP

NEW YORK (Dec. 26) - Of all the words that have been used to describe
the Bernard L. Madoff scandal, the most emotionally charged may be
"Jewish."
The disgraced investment guru is accused of orchestrating a $50
billion Ponzi scheme that preyed heavily on fellow Jews and ultimately
drained the fortunes of numerous Jewish charities and institutions.

Swindled Out of Billions David X Prutting, PatrickMcMullan.com / Sipa
Press 25 photos Rene-Thierry Magon de la Villehuchet, an
esteemed financier who tapped his upper-crust European connections to
attract clients, was found dead in his office Tuesday after an
apparent suicide. The hedge fund chief reportedly lost $1.4 billion of
his clients' money to the alleged Bernard Madoff scheme.

TOG, that was a bit of an oversimplification. In the U.S.
(actually, it's a state-by-state thing), you generally have to be
certified as a "Professional Engineer" (by your state's licensing
board) in order to offer certain engineering services to the public.
This generally comes up only in the area of civil engineering, etc.,
where you have to have your "P.E." to sign off on building plans,
testify in legal matters regarding structures, offer services generally
as a consultant, etc.. I don't believe the U.S. is alone in having
this sort of requirement, not by a long shot.

In our case it's "now the kids are grown we can afford nice things" . Our
needs are simpler though , motorcycles and machine tools for me , and she/we
have enough books to fill a small town library . A nice camping trailer ,
which we pull with my 20+ year old GMC truck , and her mini-SUV round out
the rollin' stock .
And every bit of it is paid for except the camper , which is very close to
that last payment .

Time to retell the Bear story.

It was 26 deg when the group left for Daytona. Riders had adequate cloths
and passengers without jumped into the chase truck carrying camping gear.
But one little lady in only leather had to ride behind her man.

When we stopped for gas some 200 miles south she had to be helped off the
bike and led to the ladies room sobbing, her tears frozen in her hair.
"Poor little girl" said he man "she's been like that the last couple hours."
Well Jesus Christ why didn't you say something!! "I did" he replied "I
musta told her to shut the fuck up a hundred times!"

Heh. No. And Alska, Hawaii, Texas and California are fairly simply. I
tended to get confused with the Eastern states - Virginia, Rhode Island,
etc etc
