> My story happened back in my poverty days. I was 18 years old and dropped off a resume at a little novelty store with a “Help Wanted” sign. They phoned and pretty much said “you’re hired”, which actually gave me a bad feeling. I went down to the store for an interview during which they said “Are you comfortable with what we sell in our back room?” I was like, “What do you sell in your back room?” They took me back and showed me … a room full of, uh, “adult” items. I remember backing slowly out of the store going “I really don’t think I’m qualified for this job.”

I thought the ad said that this was a job for a production assistant.

Yes. You will be assisting me in the production of videotapes, all right? You’re going to make copies for me…many copies.

Oh, is this like a…like a pirate operation?

Do I look like a pirate to you?
