raised quaker.... love the reference... i used to sing the song in meeting... what a long time ago.

now i live in a 40,00 square foot house with three swimming pools, 10 cars, 3 wives, and a small zoo in the backyard. i just spent $30,000 on a lock of frank sinatra's hair. i will clone him one day, and he'll be my butler. then life will be simple again.
