I decided it would be good for my Spanish to work with the help of friends and family translating material and so when ARROZ posted " translator work in Bogota" up on this site, I emailed the guy. His name is actually "Andrew Rice" to ask him to give me a chance by sending me a sample.
The sample I recieved was a sorrid two page smutt piece about a Colombian prostitute who likes to have at least 4 men at a time and had graphic detail out lining unrealistic yet perverted scenes.
Needless to say i did not take the guy seriously. If any of you mail order perverts out there want a little thrill this is just the job for you, but for anyone else who actually thought it was a real advertisment for work...steer clear.

elmodefoque says on Oct 7, 2004, 08:49: Vic, I’m holding back right now. I really would love to hear all about that prostitute taken on 4 guys at a time, but I’m little embarrassed to ask syneygirl, don’t want her or anyone else to think that I’m some kind of pervert. I'll get there, when I get there! 0 funny, 0 helpful. |

arroz says on Oct 7, 2004, 09:31: Actually Sydneygirl, sorry if the joke offended you, but you replied to an ad seeking "qualified translators" with 3 differnt emails telling proposing that even though you don't really speak Spanish (your own description) or have any other qualifications as a translator, you thought you were the right person for the job. You said if only I would give you a sample to translate, you would show that you have the right stuff. I thought your proposal was so goofy that I cut and pasted some crap I found on google and sent it to you as a joke.

villdkatta says on Oct 7, 2004, 15:30: Nice.... instead of just telling her "no thanks", just mail the lady some smutty material. That'll teach her a lesson and put her in her place, and I'm sure you'll feel like a much better person for doing that, eh?

villdkatta says on Oct 7, 2004, 15:33: elmo... I don't think you're a pervert, but I'm almost positive you're an attorney living the high life in a Manhattan condo, pulling down 6 or 7 figures a year and letting your fun alterego out for a spin every now and then. ;-)
