A fool and his money are soon parted

Dear Hillary,

I just came from “Festival Center” and noticed an old ugly bench back man argue with his young Thai “girlfriend” at an expensive jewelry booth. She was pointing at very expensive diamonds ring and he try with a slight force to pull her away. He probably pay her huge salary because here the older and uglier you are the higher the salary is so he think he pays her enough not to mention the two shopping bags she already carry on her left arm. My point is we the Farangs don’t care (I do) sometimes how much we pay but we all hate very much to be taken out for a fool.

Dear Gideon,

Why do I get the distinct impression that you are talking about yourself, being ripped off by a gorgeous Thai girl, that you thought was a “girlfriend”, despite a hefty “salary”, though what is a lot for some people is merely nothing relatively. All I can suggest for you is to stop going to “Festival Center” and hanging around young Thai ladies who are window shopping. For all you know, she might have been going to buy him an expensive diamond ring! Then again a squadron of pigs just went by overhead…
