7. On a trip to my old Amazon village we were stopped by the military and inspected, of course

the corrupt soldiers had to steal some of the oranges people in the truck I'd hitchhiked were transporting. We all had to show our papers and headed on, but before I departed i had a chat with the commanding officer. I told him about the theft and advised him not to eat stolen fruit, it would sure be an easy way for the guerrillas to kill off his soldiers. The look on his face was priceless. When I returned on the same road, he addressed me by name.
