When he finally did, it was like a scene I had never envisioned.  He had a late 90’s three camera Porn shoot setup with lights.  He was proud of it. He pointed out all the vhs tapes of his work.
When I informed him that I was sure this equipment was not on his high dollar item sheet and must be removed from the room immediately he pleaded, but Sarge, I make good money off the Porno’s…….
