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
