In my day... they paid in peanuts and bananas. They said... "Jump through the flaming hoop"! "Jump"!
Monkey see, monkey do. So I got paid the big bucks. On special occasions, I managed to get the banana split. What can I say... nuts and bananas on one plate. If I have an especially good performance, maybe they will let me out of my cage for lunch.
Next year.... I'll get on with a major....
