                  But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”

In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave Johnson
