    I think I have found the way to make a small fortune carving pipes.

    First you start out with a large fortune.:msty:

    Making millions is easy in politics....First you buy a politician for what they're worth, then sell them for what THEY think they're worth.
    Voila!!!! Millions!!!!

    I keep telling Sas he could get an extra $200-300 out of his pipes if he'd just change his name to Bannardsen.

    Yup, and it's not so much the degree or education, it's the network connections Harvard kids get in college that keeps them in the upper class. Obviously it wouldn't hurt your cause of becoming a well known pipe maker to have an already existing network of powerful wealthy friends. Every country has a class system. I'm a believer that the two things that define a society are how it handles death and how the rich treat the poor. *stepping off soap box*

    I spent most of my money on whiskey and whores, the rest I just wasted.

    I just want to know one thing: If the gov'ment can just print money whenever it wants and just piss it away on all manner of causes, from foreign interventions of dubious value to providing hand-outs to slackers - with a few worthwhile endeavors sprinkled in the mix - then why can't I? If they do it, then they're great leaders and humanitarians. However, if I do it then I'm a felon and a philanderer or bunko artist.
