    About this ebook

    When everyone is expected to play fair and do so there is no problem. The problem begins with a smile and end with consequences many cannot cope with from the results of not playing fair. Not playing fair is not only unethical, immoral, and down right dirty at times, the awful thought of being cheated in some scheme or situation can bring out the most deadly thoughts if the perpetrator does not play fair.

    When your ex-spouse hires someone to kill you, ask you for a swap sampling for insurance purposes, you better be alert for your life because someone is not planning on playing fair. This is just an example of not playing fair. Do you play fair all the time and not just sometimes?

    What about when a business partner cheats you through faulty book transcriptions? What about your spouse cheating on you? What about you were being used? What if your ex-spouse kills the children in anger? What about you were being cheated out of $50,000 at a strip club? What about your spouse lying to you that the IRS refund check never came, but you later found out that she already spent the refund? Some of the factors and lies with opinions in Not Playing Fair Can Be Costly!

    Dr. George Foxx

    Dr. George Foxx is a self-made man, former sailor, retired school educator, and now a redesigned tax professional who loves helping those needing a helping hand understanding the intricacies of money and how the median of exchange is better than the mere crave. He took special care in creating this and other easy readers so as to build an understanding, awareness, and amusement regarding the boogie woogie of everyday life and the stress that accompanies the amazing stories and accounts which would subject you to especially when and where there is an association with money, relationships, and boogie woogie associated followed up with the ultimate non-sense of uncommon sense as seen and heard of on a daily basis. All ages engage in some form of the bogie woogie, but unless you are keen and prepared, and know how to roll – meaning cope, you may find yourself caught up in the boogie woogie leading to the boogie woogie ultimate because he or she did not play fair and the cost of not playing fair … can be costly. Dr. Foxx has written 14 books with the first four being study guides to help struggle students and the last ten providing awareness, literacy building skills and easy reads: Study Guide for African American History Study Guide in Geography Study Guide in American Government Study Guide in U.S. History An Educational Experience Racial Impact at the Crossroads The Pain The Story about the Ticket Financial Drama Money, Money, Money Caught up in the Boogie Woogie World Boogie Woogie II Boogie Woogie III: The Ultimate Not Playing Fair … Can Be Costly

      About the Author

      Preface

      The purpose of this writing is to spur conversation, thoughts and discussion on what is right or wrong from the reader’s point of view and how would they handle the various situations if caught in either the recipient and victim or the perpetrator of not playing fair.

      Not playing fair is not just a saying, but a costly reality check that the world and business and social circles experience daily. In some form or fashion someone has a story, situation, and scenario where someone did not play fair causing someone to be hurt, raped, or robbed, lost financial monies, properties, business and personal relationships, and even their lives. Playing stupid blunders and buggers are however never used affectionately or humorously; they are generally used in one of two different ways:

      1. To refer to someone deliberately doing something wrong that is likely to have ramifications.

      2. 2. To refer to someone doing something really stupid that is likely to not end well at all.

      In fact playing fair is good and encouraged:

      1. No cheating/glitching

      2. No corner sitting

      3. No ridiculous usage of weaponry (i.e. launching rifle

      grenades into the air at every opportunity in the off chance it MIGHT kill someone)

      When someone or something does something seen as cool, rude, cheeky, dumb or for the fun of it can be misconstrued as not being nice.

      On the other hand, being honest in dealing with family, friends, business associates, acquaintances, or tricksters, the answer is still the same; be nice and others will be nice right back. Don’t play a trick on someone that you would not like to be played on you. Don’t use people and when it is your turn you cannot take it.

      Lastly, be forthright in dealing with people and the respect can be translated in a balanced reciprocity. Here is an example of bad: She wants $525 worth of help on a monthly basis from a new friend she just met. When the new friend ask for some personal time, she is always tired, stressed, aches and pains, backache, and on period. But in the next breathe asked for $525. The new friend tells her when she can get to the point of being nice to him then he would consider being further nice to her. She decided that she could not be nice with him, but wanted his money… Go figure!

      Another situation is when she as a stay-home wife is actually getting money from the husband to pay the bills, or at least he thought. But it is not until the cable person comes to the door while he is watching the basketball game and knocks on the door. Ask for payment that is three months past due or be disconnected. The husband is in disbelief and shock. When confronting her as why the cable was not paid, she gives several different sad stories and more lies. She did not play fair. Go figure!
