My Philosophy? Try anything that appeals to you, even if it's only for 10 minutes!

Most amazing thing I ever saw... a dog taking a crap while I was on acid. (only once folks, only once.)

15 minutes of fame?
Flipping over the horse and carriage containing 8 people and a baby, in front of a building containing 3 news stations. Sending all to the hospital. I was severly badgered as to why I didn't try to get the people out instead of catching the horse! Rule #1. Grab the horse first so it doesn't drag everyone for a mile. Lawers were crawling all over the place. Right there on at least local T.V. I was bawling into the neck of a horse. Then had it plastered all over the papers the next day.

Everyone? Try to see humor in your job.

P.S. I could never run for political office, could I?
