    A British friend of mine was once on a plane and pretended to be a newly wed so that he could sit with some floozy he'd just met at the terminal, and then got shit-faced on the plane with her, all the while pretending they'd just got married.

    I've occasionally considered telling his actual wife what he did. He seemed to attract these people - I once traveled on a train with him from London, and this girl came over and started talking to us about how she liked watching scrotums. It was a very strange journey. At the end of it he asked me why I didn't get her phone number, as she seemed to like me.

    I was only joking

      Dude stop talking about me like I’m not here. And I’m not British, so enough of the insults already.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        When I said she liked watching scrotums I wasn't actually talking about you, but I understand the mistake.

                It must be extra hard for them these days since few people carry cash.

                  They have Venmo. Even the destitute must conform.

                    Thailand has a QR code payment system. You have to have a Thai bank account and Thai mobile phone #to use, and the system is regulated by the Central Bank.

                    Vendors have a QR code, which you scan, enter the payment, and show the vendor on your phone that the payment was successful.

                    Everybody and I mean everybody uses it. The guys pushing the street cart selling ice cream for USD0.50 has it. Restaurants have it. I asked a restaurant owner if there was a commission for it on either buyer or seller, and he told me no.
