Years ago I had a temp job at a place that had odd shifts; mine was 11:00 AM to 7:00 PM. This was convenient for commuters because they could avoid rush hour traffic, and a few years before every hour became rush hour. Mostly it was so the company's West Coast operations would be in sync with their East Coast operations.

There was this guy at work, maybe forty years old, who was always bragging that he could get all the premium cable channels for free on his magic cable box and he'd offer to set you up with some guy he knew who would sell you one.

This was the same guy who'd tell you he'd park his truck in front of the high school to eat his lunch as school was letting out because it was great girl watching.
