Finger Prince

Sitting in your cubicle at work bogged down with tedium and deadlines and stress, and you flash back to that time in your mid 20s you and your mates went to Vietnam, rented scooters and rode to the beach and there was a little bar there that sold cold beer and you hung out all day and then the sun went down and they turned it into a sort of beach club, Ed scored some questionable E's and possibly hooked up with a local girl, and you made out with that hot Danish tourist and you saw the sun come up over the Pacific, and then you come out of your reverie to the monotonous 60hz hum of the fluorescent lights and the tuneless warble of desk phone ringers.

Goons Are Gifts

I remember that one day. I wish I wouldn't but sometimes you just can't help it. We were alone, it was dirty. It was noisy. We didn't know how we ended up here or why it had to be this place at this time.
They told us about the fire but they didn't tell us that it would rain napalm for hours and hours. I wondered all the time if this, truly, would be the hill I had to die on. On that day I learned something about hell. That it's inside of us and the only devils we can make a deal with are ourselves and no dumb policy or bad decision can change that.

I swear to god, next time the waiter warns me to not use those public toilets after eating Vietnamese I will listen.

Jaguars!

"It was all fun and games until the Tet offensive. I was still really green, just a country hick only arrived in 'nam the week before. See, there's this big holiday, the Vietnamese new year, where the whole place shuts down for a party. The plan was that we'd travel in considerable force up route 1 to Da Nang. Well, we started along and a couple of hours in I'm trying to talk to the driver, he knew a bit of English, and he had a little Polaroid of his family stuck near the controls.

Well, I decided to try a little Vietnamese on him. I tried to tell him that he had a beautiful family. I don't no what I actually said, but instantly his face clenches up in shock and knew I made a mistake I'd never forget. We skidded to a halt and he told me very politely, "Sir, I cannot transport you any more. Please leave this bus." I was stranded in hostile territory. But I had a meal at a cafe and managed to make it back by calling a taxi.

I wish I knew what I said to him to cause such offense. I'd like to see him again and apologise, but he's gone now, and he'd be really hard to find because it's a big country, and when you're saving so much for a holiday, you don't want to end up going to the same country two years in a row, know what i mean?"
