line from some old movie...

"If a round trip on the Queen Mary were $10, I couldn't buy a one-way ticket on the Staten Island ferry."

*remembering the days when it was REALLY bad, I developed a theory...being totally broke is relatively easier. If you have NOTHING, they leave you alone....if you get a few $$$$, you have a line of creditors, all demanding you give it to them!*
