I worked long hours, day and night, just to get the check and pay the bills for this run down apartment i can barley afford. Also, the wife had been without a job for some time now but had the appetite of a six figure earner. Boy did that broad really burn a hole in my pocket. Either way, between the rent and the gold digging wife i was usually left in the middle of no money. So i spent a month putting together a plan to make me some extra cash, maybe get out of this dump and get the wife a boob job. I heard about bitcoin mining and it caught my fancy and after putting some time researching it i decided to lay my nest egg. Now you see, you can help me recoup this initial payment. Ima just need bout' tree-fiddy.

Also: plead or pleaded? /hijack plead v. pleaded: It's one of those things where there is one that is correct and there is one that is commonly used. If I'm writing in a brief, or something along those lines, I'll use the word pleaded, which is actually the correct usage. Plead (past tense, pronounced pled) is technically wrong, but it's what most people say. Orally, I'll probably end up saying plead just out of habit, and no one would ever correct me over that (I would hope not, anyway).
