-I came here to work for the people!
-How’d that go?
-For the party more like.
-How’d the people react?
-Remarkably quiescent. Of course I threw them the occasional cookie.

about nothing.
-Wife back home?
-Roams.
-Worse and worse.

-Well there is some pride then!
-Yeah, I came as Patrick Henry and leave a really good
7-11 manager.
