    Presently, I sell straws to aardvark owners.

    Before that I owned a lobster and oyster ranch in Wyoming.

    My college degrees are in macroeconomics and necromancy. The Masters Degree thesis was Macroeconomics for Five-Year Olds: Is it Nap Time Yet? It won 2nd place in Microsoft’s “Design a new operating system” contest. The necromancy degree is used a lot at the archives to awaken the staff.

    I'm a suit-wearing, shiny black polished wingtip shoe wearing international tax lawyer, working with extremely conservative Republican colleagues. When I am not in the office, I am a bleeding heart liberal, hippie wannabe who would like to see some changes in how tax revenues are generated, distributed and spent on the common Americans. One board member referred to me as "extremely dangerous" and suggested that people like me "should stay away from his money".

    That was my second answer. Except for the tax law, and no wingtips for me. image Okay I lied about the wingtips, but I prefer a cordovan or ox blood color. Oh, and nobody has referred to me as dangerous that I know of. image
