At first I thought that the only purpose of this post will be just to make me sad because I have not gotten a date in 33 + years I been on this planet and some guys get a date and turn into prank? I will never understand that...

if Richard grew up to be a scammer, a taxman, or even a member of parliament. Cads, bounders and scoundrels all.

But then I read your list of shady jobs and it made me feel a bit better.
