re: How did that person in your class become rich?

He struck up a conversation at a bar with an older guy who was drinking with purpose.

Turns out the older guy was the cofounder of a very large health insurance company in the gulf south.

Two weeks later he was working for him.

Two years later and he was VCO of the company.

He now runs the company. The old guy's kids work for him.

All because this goofy motherfricker told the old guy a story about fricking a girl with a grocery bag.
