Toe
Face and feet
Last summer my regular manicurist tortured my toe twice.
That’s why I decided to forgo her pedicure for a while. Actually I decided to forgo her pedicure forever.
On Saturday I thought time has come to give pedicure a second chance. I went to a spa around the corner. After Iraq I could use some foot massage.
The Japanese lady working at the spa said: “I will gave you a facial as well.”
She studied my feet.
“I’m in a hurry,” I answered.
She said: “We can work on your face and your feet at the same time.”
I had no choice; I accepted her offer.
Another lady was working on my feet while the Japanese lady was treating my face as if it were a dirty stove.
All comes down to assimilation.

I like it when my friend sometimes takes care of my skin – she is really good at it. Assimilation, indeed.
i dont like it when people touch me for money.
Face and feet treatment at the same time, can't possibly be a good idea. At least I would have said: NO, thanks.

The oldest profession is to be touched for money (and get paid beforehand.).
The oldest crime is not to pay for a given service.
Do you prefer to be touched for free?

'We wil serve sushi while we work on your feet. What would you like to drink sir? We suggest our selfmade Sake.' This answer might have been a reason to remember a fine japanese pedicure.

my point was, I dont like to pay people to touch me.I have never receive any money for a physical performance. (apart from selling blood, which I dont enjoy)
Andrea
I touch you for free. Where can I touch you?Arnon
You look quite different with a mask.coen
But on the other hand, working for free is a slavery.Or idealism.
Do you consider yourself to be a slave, or an idealist?
Andrea
Did you sale your blood?make up artist
Yes sir.I have sold about 12 litres by now.
Andrea
Why?make-up artist
I spend all my money on coffee, wine and cigarettes .I need some to buy food as well.
Andrea
Fair enough. Thanks for answering.Andrea
Sometimes I am a slave of my own needs.Andrea
An idealist is not the opposite of a slave. That means I could be both slave and idealist.I am not an idealist.

Nice move, Eric, very nice... does this mean you're a fundamentalist Christian or a Nazi simpathizer or just an ordinary lunatic, you should know that at least a book can always serve as the perfect support for unstable furniture, ashes don't to this trick.Strasse's partner
Eric's language is coded language.The last message was meant to inform his business partner that a shipment of cocaine never made it to its final destination.
Unfortunately I cannot disclose more details.
But there's no reason to be upset or morally outraged. It's business as usual. Eric is stimulating the economy.
Dear Strasse's Partner,
Thank you for you compliment.
Even for my unstable furniture I want quality support.
yours truly,
Eric
I feel uncomfortable among people with soft hands and feet, especially when they have a delicate figure. They make me feel coarse and awkwardly misshapen.
