- You need to work as hard at home, if not harder, than you do on the road. You've humped for 17 days straight and just want to sleep for 3 days straight. But so, I suspect, does your wife, who has been taking care of the kids and the house for 17 days straight.
- You want to go out on the boat? Go hunting? Take the plane up for a spin? Hit the links? Absolutely -- you've earned it. But you need to make sure everyone else in the family gets their "down time" as well.
- OK, one more quick tip: if you've just ordered 2-3 hookers up to your room in HKG, lock up your phone, iPad, etc...in the safe before they get there. Don't leave out anything with an ID that could be traced back to social media.
- OK, last one, I swear (stolen from comedian Dave Attell): Aspirin does a lot...but it won't bring a dead hooker back to life...so stop trying.
Well said.
Also, regarding the invitation of local talent to the hotel room... If that's high on someone's list of fun things to do... Then the company u fly for doesn't matter per se, as your marriage is doomed anyway. It will catch up to u sooner or later in some form of a slip up, be it social media baggage or other luggage you might acquire whilest in the throws of passion. JMHO.
