Wednesday, October 10, 2007 • this guy stopped me after some awkward seconds i realised it was one of my old tafe teachers. One of favorites, i used to call his class, "unethical 101".He prided himself on knowing how to scam people out of money, and basically told me everything i know about sales, …. His life long goal was to send a class into the wilderness and secretly video tape it...he was a lil strange. http://scottyknows.blogspot.com/search?q=unethical+101
