Right, and I showed up at the little strip place that he always wanted to conduct his business. I had under my arm a cigar box that I had procured solely because it just fit these rows of $100 bills, and his interest payment was in an envelope with his name on it, and I slid it across the table, and he counted it out, and he says, okay, that's the interest. And what's with the cigar box?

You know I don't smoke. I says, I didn't think you would want me walking around with this much cash. And I opened it up and he could see it was full of bills. And so I put the lid down and he just said to me, he says, you're all right, Swain. I could tell he gained a certain level of respect because he had heard through the grapevine that my big project had gone haywire.

And he was wondering, how are you ever going to pay me back? And he thought, okay, is he just going to make interest payments for the rest of his life? Or how's this going to work? And anyway, I guess it gained a certain level of respect and confidence with him.

I kept printing it. And there's a side of me that's very empathetic. And the fellow that I bought the press from was a great guy. And he was a horrible businessman, but a really decent guy. And he had some financial problems. He had sold me his press so he could get a job, but he wasn't making the money he was making when he had his own business. And he was in arrears on his home.

He was afraid it was going to get repossessed. And I said, hey, look, I said, I might have something that'll help you. It helped me out of a jam. I explained to him. His wife said, no, there's no way in hell we could do that. But I guess they went home and discussed it and slept on it because the next day he called me and says, thanks for inviting me.

And can you do it just so I can make enough money to pay off my house? And I says, yeah, let's do it. I said, let's just swear to each other, I don't know you, you don't know me, you go your way, I'll go my way, and we'll hope for a happy outcome. Instead of just some backwoodsy place like Idaho, he went to Las Vegas where people know money and it's very sacred to them.

Yeah. Exactly. And he wasn't a gambler. He didn't go to the casinos. He went to the little strip malls, he and his wife, and she would be on his heels. He'd grab a pack of gum, she'd grab some chapstick, and they'd each pay with a 20. And This caught the attention of a security guard at the mall. He said, see that couple? They've gone to every store making little purchases.
