   What makes me happy reading the disjointed drivel that you wasted so much   
   time on is; I have a lot of money, and you don't.   
      
   I'm going over to Palm Beach for dinner in a little while, one of the higher   
   end places, I'll have the chef make a filet for Mugsy.  I'll think of you   
   with your Taco Bell special when I give it to him.  We'll both be happy.   
      
   What do you give to charity?  Nothing like Steve Jobs?
