for girls in college that had abusive boyfriends.

was payment enough. During research for a story

Advisory:
Smith
is the only sane person in his entire family. The
rest are all either in jail, liars or still at large
and running from the law. If approached by anyone
saying they are a member of Beau Smith's family,
do not look them directly in the eye and call authorities
as soon as possible. Fighting them or running won't
be much of an option.
Smith
has been known to charge people $.25 to feel his
biceps at conventions and store signings. Women
get to feel for free. Really pretty women
get to feel as long as they like... of course, to
Smith... all women are pretty.
Beau
Smith does NOT owe you money. You must be drunk.
"Aw,
Hell... I got morals... they're just not as pronounced
as most folks, that's all."
