[citation][nom]pocketdrummer[/nom]You know, he made a terrible decision to take it seriously in the first place, but you can't ignore that the guy is probably extremely lonely. You don't know what he looks like, if he's disabled, etc. He may have chosen a "distance relationship" because he felt it was all he could have.It's sad. No part of this is funny.[/citation]

Damn, I was laughing until I read this.

No vacations in 2.5 years where he could've met "her" yet he had money saved?
Only Americans are that enslaved to their jobs.
