Damn near it. As soon as they left, I took a nap.

Don't you just love naps? I found myself sneaking one on Sunday, while Jerry was out detailing his red hot S.

Not really. If I nap it's because I'm sleep deprived or sick. Sometimes I get up feeling worse...Rick on the other hand likes naps and feels refreshed after a 45 minute snooze.

There's a lot of Wall Street types, mortgage brokers, Realtors, etc. that didn't seem to have any qualms about it. Put them into a house they can't afford, give them a mortgage that resets to an obscene interest rate, bundle the turd mortgage into a bond, launder it through a credit rating agency,and sell it to a retirement fund as AAA. Repeat until rich, leaving everyone else in the chain of transactions financially devastated.

I wouldn't want part of the job my son does, de-icing planes at the airport in the winter, I'd rather be inside where it is warm.

I dunno there were a few jobs along the way the I have had that I didn't want either...

cleaning the morgue might top the list ....
A +60 acquaintance is the "go-fer" at a funeral home in South Jersey (disclosure: this is NOT the real Zippy of MWG fame). He was downsized from a printing job at a medical book publisher in Philly, so he's glad to have the job...which he needs

The owners love his work; the clients don't talk back but also don't tip him very often
