[an ARVN pimp and his hooker drive towards the Marines] ARVN pimp: Do you want number one fuckee?

I grew up on a dairy farm in Southeastern Connecticut, and I went into the Peace Corps right after college. I went to Ghana. I fell in love with Africa and have basically been working in Africa ever since.
