Old dogs learn new tricks

It seems the training worked well for this 72 year-old:

They gave him a Bn coin for it? Screw that, give the guy a big, fat bonus check. It might motivate others to emulate the behavior.

While I agree, and initially thought that a coin is small reward (dog treat), after some further thought, the coalition might not be spot on, but you cant go throwing money at everything. It sets a bad precedence.

Not only that, but I think that Arab Jabour probably has the best pay off they could ask for in the fact that the training they have received is paying dividends. They are teaching men to fish, enshallah.......Good for them!!!!!!
