Like I said...... seems she's doing it for the journey, not the $$'s.

LOL!! Bit of a difference between 10-20 years and the 1600's!!


But as for Jessica, 10 years ago she would have been 5 or 6.

20 years ago....... she'd have had to make the trip in her old mans nut sack.

But I get your inferrance.

I seem to remember a kid from 10-20 years ago that did just that.....
Jesse???
