[QUOTE="klein, post: 783544, member: 23950"] Anybody remember Ben Johnson ? Once considered the fastest 100 meter sprinter on earth ? A Jamican-Canadian. He got stripped of his world record, and his gold medals. He tested positive for steriods. He also lost his mansion, and fortunes. Easy come, easy go (but in disgrace) ! The movie Cool Runnings, I was an extra in that flick ! I went on my day off, we got fed, (breakfast, coffee, lunch), and just had to stand by the bobsled and cheer the sleds on, as they slid by. They paid $8.00 per hr, cash in an envelope - no taxes. I only went on my day off, back then (1989 or 1990). Worked 4 x 10 hrs back then, and had Wednesday off... So, I used that Wednesday to see how Hollywood films. I would have done it for free, the extra cash was a bonus ! And it was a full 8 hr day, too. Mostly sitting and drinking coffee, too ! LOL (They had huge heated tents set up for us, to keep us warm - it was nasty cold out there, around minus 25F) [/QUOTE]
