So, this tidbit came across the wires today. Apparently, the motherfucker once tried to pay an attorney with a horse.
That's pretty creative, Bloated Tick, a horse's ass trying to pay a bill with an equine. How positively 19th century.
With warm regards, go fuck yourself and the nag you rode in on, you walking embodiment of phlegm.

(24,023 posts)Trump said the horse was worth $5 million. I have a hard time believing that Trump would be willing to part with an animal that cost that much.

When the person buying the horse discovers that he was defrauded, he threatens to sue Trump. Trump replies that if he does, he will get his Judge to require a Special Master, and before the case can be settled, all parties will be dead.
Yeah, something like that.

The story, called "Blood Money," centered on the career of Tommy "The Sandman" Burns, an otherwise cherubic 30-year-old drifter who had spent the last 10 years of his life traveling from barns to stables to horse shows and killing one expensive show horse after another.

It had been so ever since the day in 1982 when, he says, the late James Druck, an Ocala, Florida, attorney who represented insurance companies, paid him to kill the brilliant show-jumper Henry the Hawk, on whose life Druck had taken out a $150,000 life insurance policy."...(more)
