Ahhh....job training. Stuck in Jersey City with a hometown ski instructor who has Fedex issues. If you have any idea where to find a decent slope or 3, this Chicagoan is ready to pay for advice and directions. Please drop me a line and he'll make it monetarily worth your while.

See, class, that's an excellent use of figurative language — and you assumed the drug community lacked any educational value.
