I was a prime target for the draft, I had no aspirations for higher education and more importantly, I was sorely in need of discipline and organization.

The Great Sperm Audition Getting paid to do what comes naturally
During tough economic times, difficult problems require creative solutions.

With barely $500 to live on, I realized that I’d need some way to support my trip, so I hit the straβe looking for work. After several days, the only thing I could come up with was an administrative job in the United States Army Post Exchange Headquarters. It wasn’t the greatest…
