The one I'm hearing a lot about is this: your waiting for your connecting flight. Instead of your guns getting loaded with all other baggage, a young guy comes walking by with your gun case. He hooks up with another boy outside and your case heads to the loading ramp. Boy one comes in and finds you standing in line to board. He says any number of ploys to get a tip. You pay and your guns are loaded. He goes outside and then returns with his friend, who now they claim deserves a tip as well. Some are telling me you may not get your gun loaded if you don't pay. Apparently a US dollar will do. Too bad Moe from the 3 Stooges isn't with us...he could give them two...in the eyes.

Every morning the Lion wakes up knowing it must outrun the slowest Zebra or it will starve. It makes no difference if you are a Zebra or a Lion; when the Sun comes up in Africa, you must wake up running...... "If you're being chased by a Lion, you don't have to be faster than the Lion, you just have to be faster than the person next to you." | ||

One reason I avoid Joburg like the plague. The last time I went through there the guy wanted $20. I offered $2. He refused. I told him to fuck-off. My guns made it on the plane anyway. ------------------------------- Will Stewart / Once you've been amongst them, there is no such thing as too much gun. --------------------------------------- and, God Bless John Wayne.

David, When Louis and I missed the flight,and you, in Jo'burg last month the guys (police) who took our guns and loaded them walked around until they found us having a beer and asked for a tip. This was after the "gentleman" who signed my guns into the country flat out asked me for drink money. Part of being in the country I guess but damn I got tired of tipping everyone. | |||
