[Leica] Taking New Cajones Off Topic!

["Guido Soprano" <guidosoprano@hotmail.com>]

Oh Dan,

I wonder if Oddmund will take up something to thrash you with over this.

Bill, like most obscenely wealthy people, gives it away in order to keep it. 
The Beatles named a song after it. Mr. Taxman.

Now, where do you think all that money came to Bill from in the first place? 
I see also in the news today that the US of Amerigo has a negative savings 
rate. How fricked up is that?

Guido, off to don flame repellant garments.
