THOUGHTS ON THE SIDE

Money can always find an appreciative audience when it talks. It’S always amusing to heat a rich man tell how much happier he was when he was poor. Nobody ever successfully dodged trouble, but that doesn’t prevent everybody from trying to. The notion that some men have that they can get away with it is what keeps the prison cells occupied.
