When I was in the Armt stationed at Fort Sill, on the weekends, guys who
wanted tattoo piled into my '79 Ford LTD and we barreled down to Wichita
Falls, Texas (an hour? 90 minutes? drive; I don't remember now). All I
asked was for gas money (gas was $1.01 back then) and money for me to get a
meal to eat while I was waiting.
I made a LOT of money doing that until I went TDY to Fort Hood.
