Sterling was a red-neck slob. He would drink all the cream at everyone's table in a restaurant and steal as many tips as he could on the way out. But his worst suit was that he was a real deal pedophile. He would go to Mexico and marry a 13 yr old, and get rid of her when she left her teens and go back and get another 13 yr old. That was bad enough, but he got caught molesting his best friend's little girls. They were like 8 and 9. His friend was Bill Gibbs, another country boy hustler from Chicago. Bill would have killed Sterling if he could have gotten to him

Good story Mr.______
If I may, the word "pedophile" reminds me of a short war story. (may have told this before, but it is worth a re-tell)...During one of our more memorable battles, RA was not having a good day...He had given up on his 'mild sharking and distracting' method of operation,.. and had gone into full insult mode. (which usually meant last barrell, as I have learned more than once)
We were playing in Phx. and had the usual crowd of rail-birds... I had just gotten a game winning, good roll, and he erupted into a string of profanities directed at me, which went way beyond, "lucky MFer", or c**cksucker !...In my usual calm [sic] response, I replied "Oh yeah, well you're a
pedophile, you ass**le."
RA, as clever and sharp, as he is in his world, does not have the greatest grasp of the english language...So, within earshot of me, he sidled up to a quick-witted friend of mine, and said "What the f**k did he just call me ? " My friend said "Oh he just called you a pedophile....Thats a person who works in a pet shop, and does all the filing"....RA thought a second, and said..."What the f**k does that have to do with me ?"
Shortly after, some busybody called him over, and told him what "pedophile" really meant....and here he come, swinging away ! Fortunately, the peacemaker's stopped it quickly, so we just dusted ourselves off, went next door to the bar, and got drunk.
PS..So he saved his case money, and I furnished the drunk...(plus a large bite)...Am I smart, or what ?...
