In his wild youth, he used to enjoy hanging out with a group of boys. They were not about work, but about having fun. They wouldn't discuss work-related matters when together; they would chat about fun places to go, delicious food to try, and attractive women with ample bosoms and slim waists. Initially, it felt fresh and exciting, but as time passed, he grew disinterested and exasperatingly bored.
