he should tell them: "fine, i'll drop what i'm doing in my pleasant retirement to help you out. my fee is $500/hour, if i have to travel, it's by first class, you pay all actual expenses, including pay for travel time, and i don't do more than 6 hours a day without prior approval by me, and then each hour over 6 is charged at $800/hour. now, what can i help you with?"
