to pack nail clippers, and I said, oh, no, I didn't,
and he's like, oh, okay. Anyway, he walked over to
(01:38):
one of the ledges that was near the pool that
overhooked a bar, and he was hobbing around there for
a little bit, and then he came back and he goes,
just go and have a look at what's on that
ledge over there. So I went over and had a
look and there's a pair of nail clippers. He'd been
standing there doing his nails, so he asked for it.

men's extra large. It didn't fit me, so I gave
it to one of her workers for employees, and he said,
when you're older, I'll find you and give it back
to you when it fits you. Fast forward, I'm at
the age of twenty three, working behind a bar talking
(09:47):
to a man in a Culton blue jacket. It was
like telling him this story about what I found when
I was eight, and it turned out it was him.
