   David, the way I made part of my vast fortune (of today) was flipping stocks   
   in the market.  I used to joke about it with Pleasance, saying "Some folks   
   flip burgers at Denny's; I flip stocks for millions."  Regarding my business   
   (post Nam), I was a    
   brilliant success in that department as well.  So much so in fact, I wrote   
   this little ditty about my work-a-day philosophy.  I hope you appreciate it.   
      
   Early to bed,   
   Early to rise.   
   You work like hell,   
   And you advertise.   
      
   Have a happy and productive day.   
   Amen.
