My sins are legion, but as George Carlin states in his famous monologue THE TEN COMMANDMENTS that the having ten was only a marketing device. The late comedian trimmed the commandments down to two along with Thou Shalt Keep Thy religion to Thyself.
Thou shalt not steal is downsized to being honest, however honesty is a tough commandment to keep, as was witnessed in an English court’s prosecution of a tax advisor for the theft of an old woman’s millions.
The man admitted to stealing from his client’s account even after her death.
He had started small and then within for the ‘wipe-out’ within a year to the tune of 2 million pounds sterling. The pilfered funds were transferred to his Thai girlfriend’s bank account. She was half his age. 57/27. She invested the money in several gambling casinos. The 60 year-old is now looking at a long stretch in prison, while his wife will be calling saying, “Mii mee tang.”
“I don’t have any money.”
Another case of the Thai anti-Midas touch.
Gold into dirt.
Sum num nah.
