I knew a guy (a friend of a friend) who decided to earn some extra money in retirement by bringing drugs up from Florida to New York.

One night the cops found him shot to death on the side of the road. Someone (probably not the police) found out about his delivery service, and decided to take his cargo for themselves.

This came as quite a shock to everyone who knew him. We didn’t have a clue as to what he was doing.

Well, that's the story the cops told.

I once knew an airline pilot, who told me he had been offered 500k to fly a DC-3 from Mexico to Arizona, back in the 70’s.
He knew better.
