Yeah, I work hard at it. You don't get a rep like mine without a lot of hard work, lemme tell ya. I remember one time back in, oh, '70 or mebbe '71, when I was just beggining my career. It was a different time, then, I mean, Nixon was President and the Vietnam Unpleasantness was happening. Nehru jackets had passed into fashion history, which was just as well, and leisure suits were still in the future, thank God. Anyway, my brother and I were both back from the Army and we'd wear each others clothes. I remember he had a double-breasted sport jacket, even though I wouldn't wear such a thing nowadays, that we both thought was the most fashionable thing we'd ever seen. Granted, we hadn't seen much back then, pretty much just what we'd see in the Army, really. We've made up for it since, of course. My brother has too. He did a canoe trip up along the Boundary Waters area with a couple friends once, and they were paddling along near shore when one of them thoght they should get a cloaser look at a young moose; well, momma moose was nearby by and when she raised her head up out the water those four guys paddled so fast that the canoe was planing, let me tell ya! Anyway, like I was saying about leisure suits, I had one, like a lot of men, but I got rid of it pretty quick, let me tell ya. Polyester double knit, it was.

So there you have it.
