A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!
It was a used item on Amazon UK, but it's already been bought by someone else. Thanks anyway, Israelis!

Jon, you know I'll always be happy to help you in situations like that. You can start checking amazon.de if you like, though I've also ordered stuff from amazon.co.uk and had it shipped to me here plenty of times.

Thanks, Fiona! Could you email me your shipping address so that I'll have it on hand if/when I need it?

A friend has accepted a job as ship's doctor on a cruise line. They don't do electronic transfer, but send checks to ports of call. Does this sound legit? Also if it is, what is the best way to deposit them into a U.S. bank like Bank of America? Find a place to do a wire transfer in each port? Mail them?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
I know nothing about this, but it sounds dodgy like a dodgy thing to me, in this day and age.

Yeah my thought too. The cruise line is legit, but they are contracting the position to a British company who actually pays him. Also, they have internet on board, but they restrict it strictly to professional use, no personal use allowed. They were emphatic that this is enforced, and that not even personal emails are allowed. I'm going to go with even more suspicious.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l
The bits that I've heard about cruise hiring has seemed dodgy to me. I know someone who was fired in the middle of a cruise, and left on St. Thomas, with just her last paycheck, no means of getting home. (At least it was a US island and she's a US citizen, so there weren't immigration issues in addition left-in-the-Caribbean issues.)
