On the Nile River there are rapids and waterfalls. We went to observe the falls and were approached by young men soliciting sponsorship.... They proposed that for a fee they would jump into the river and ride down the rapids and falls while holding their "Jerry cans." This seemed and bit risky and when I suggested that I did not want to be a party to this the young man plead with me that this was his job and to further convince me, offered not to take my money until he returned! He obviously missed my concern for his life and instead thought it was about money..... yikes. His physique was such that I figured if anyone could survive he could. I caved in and let him risk his life in exchange for 5 bucks. How much would someone have to pay me to do this????
