Excuses excuses! You just saw that it would cost $15 to send as Bill said "a piece of toilet paper" to Greece and thought what the :censored2: am I doing?!



Not an excuse.

This car gets driven ALOT each day. And it get's driven hard. So it does break from time to time.

Wow I guess the resort industry pays well in Greece. 200 Euros a day in gas and 300 Euros in towing and another 300 in repairs...
Maybe I should come work in Greece.


It's not that "well" payed here. My pay scale is in between 90k and 100k euros a year right now. But the company does pay for fuel Since I do alot of business work with the car they pay .35c per km driven for wear and tear on the car. so it does work out.

well it sounds like grease is the place to work

big money, free gas, wear & tear reimbursement ? Do you get messages with happy endings at break time ? Free seaside employee housing with maid service ?

Doesn't jive.. The company pays for your fuel, but yet you bitch about the price of fuel? If my company pays for my fuel, I dont bitch, its not out of my pocket.

How does a tow cost 300 euros? That is roughly 472.436 USD. I can have my truck towed to Oregon for that.

Listen, I bitch for the fact that it costs money, and I DO fill the car up from time to time with my own cash, When the Car is towed from a city that is 500km away what do think the cost will be? I'm working for a Ski Resort Company.

And for the Record, the Wages here for the job that i'm doing has been this way for 5+ years. the lifties are paid roughly 15.00 usd per hr for first year, 2nd and more get .50c raise each season.

The pay that I get is fair for what I do, As I work 16 to 18 hrs a day 7 days a week basicly. On Sundays I take the afternoons off and goto the beach but other then that it's pretty much work. Now that we are off topic.

Sounds to me like you're married to a woman similar to my wife.

OK - Bob was able to sell some printed toilet paper to Bill (original topic).

Problem: What should Bill do with the paper?

A. Hang it over his desk
B. Re-post it on Ebay in hope of realizing a profit
C. Roll it into a suppository and mail it to Les Otten
D. Wipe his ass with it and send it back to Bob
E. Wipe his ass with it and feed it to

I believe that Bill should try to resell the toilet paper on Ebay for a starting bid of $12.50, which will achieve a net profit of $0.50. While all of the other choices are perfectly acceptable (of course with the exception of choice E), choice B is the most logical because it has the prospect of possible gain. It has been proven that a person using the AuctionSniper software will unknowingly overbid for a petty piece of paper, so there is a good chance that someone will purchase said piece of toilet paper for $15 thus realizing a $3 profit.

There's 100 words.

hahaha that is funny. Maybe Bill should have each of his 100 shares printed out on individual pieces of paper. If nothing else it would mean more toilet paper. Think of all of the fun you could have.
