I walked into the office in Torrance, fucking Torrance and said Thailand and we were off. There was a brief discussion about rabies but with a 280 dollar price tag, I told the guy I would just run with a knife attached to my hip in case a wild monkey or dog tried to attack me. He didn't get it and there was this long silence before I tried to laugh like I was making a joke but by then it was too late and he thought I was crazy.
