We shared a bucket of Heineken at a local drinking joint, the three of us. I drove Gaso there in my car. vinzanity arrived much about the same time we did. This is the first time they met so I introduced them.

We had talked earlier about opportunists. Yes … there are many types of opportunists around.

Opportunists who steal at sight
You “misdrove” your car into the drain. Several people come to help. You thank them for their help and leave feeling proud to have wonderful helpful citizens in your country and then realized that you’ve lost your handphone, sunglasses and suitcase.

Opportunists who prey on trust
You have a bombshell wife and she’s been very sick lately and you’re tied up to your neck with work. She suggests having your best friend take her to the doctor so you agreed. They both come back to you and tell you that the doctor suggests daily physiotherapy sessions. You end up finding out that she was never sick but the physiotherapy sessions were real … just without the doctor.

Opportunists who play with the cloud of emotions
Your father is away somewhere on a remote island without any communications. A friend suddenly calls and informs you that your father had been kidnapped by tribesmen. He asks you for his personal documents so that he can help arrange for the local authorities to help out in the search. You later found out that your dad was never kidnapped and he swindled 80% of your family’s property thanks to the documents you provided him.

Opportunists who create their own opportunities
You are happily driving along the new highway when suddenly the car next to you bumped into yours. A sweet sexy girl steps out of the car and apologized profusely. She tells you that she had sprained her ankle and if you can take her to the nearest clinic. You offered to help and guided her to your car. Suddenly … she starts shouting rape and a group of men appeared out of nowhere beating the living daylights out of you. When the commotion cleared, you’re faced with a group of very sorry men, your car stolen and the girl nowhere to be found.
