The above quote came from my post # 30 above in the 4th paragraph.
Let me begin with a word that I find fascinating because the word has such strong meaning and applies to what I have written below. The word is wonderfully demonstrative. The word was originally a Yiddish word that has gained acceptance in the English language.
The word is chutzpah = shameless audacity; impudence; nerve
Remember, above I quoted a section of my earlier post that mentioned one of my favorite sauna boys being arrested over the weekend for mugging an English tourist. I did not mention that the tourist was a gay tourist that had been trying to engage the sauna boy for a brincadeira.
Anyway, here is where chutzpah is appropriate:
Tonight I received a collect phone call from the sauna boy who had been arrested, and remains in jail. Incredibly, he asked me to pay for a lawyer to represent him in his court case where he will be charged (as a second offense) in the mugging and robbery of the tourist. He said that if I did not pay for a good lawyer for him, I would not see him for a long time. After what he did to that English tourist, I don't want to see him ever again.
Obviously, because of what he did, I refused to hire a lawyer for him.
For some strange reason, the sauna guy does not realize what a turn off it is to me for him to have mugged a gay tourist. The sauna guy told me he did it because he needed the money.
I say nonsense. Three hours prior to mugging the Englishman, the sauna guy had spent time with me. He had plenty of money.
Later tonight, the sauna guy's wife called me also pleading that I hire a lawyer for the sauna guy. Her pleas were self serving. I ended the phone call asking her not to call me again.
chutzpah
