Hey, comrade, you think I jest. In the early days, before Philip Morris
started making the smokes in-country, the boys in Sebastopol had a jones
for Marlboro Lights something fierce, and no way to get them. Vlad stocked
up at Sam's Club before one of his trips and brought a whole suitcase full
of cigs with him. He had to grease the agent at the airport to get through
immigration.
As for the women, Vlad also bought a moribund software shop in Manila
(which is the source of a whole 'nother batch of stories). He flew in a
couple of the boys from Sebastopol to meet their new colleagues. While he
was there, he took the Dot-Commies a-whoring, and was quite gleeful and
proud as he told us about it...during a senior staff meeting. Bastard
probably wrote the exprense off, too.
There were times when only industrial quantities of gin kept me from
jumping in front of a bus...
