I once got some tubes from a walking sack of dung named Mike Foreman of 2242
Prosperity, San Leandro, CA.
He had the brilliant idea of packing $180 of tubes in what was approximately a
pizza box. Real stupid for a supposed tube dealer.
The package was insured and paid for with a usps money order.
Box of rattling glass arrived at the post office.
The insurance was rejected and of course Mr. Foreskin, er, I mean Foreman, came
up with all kinds of excuses not to make good on the deal.
Can you tell I am still ticked 3 years later?
Also, that jerk was the only bad transaction out of over 180.
So there you have it
