Obviously not, I have told you what I earned last year. Are you
intimidated by what I earned last year? Does it make you feel insecure
that I earned more money than you? It makes Harry insecure about what I

it is the truth.


Uh, Bertie, I don't want to burst your balloon, but the last time I earned
as little as you claimed you earned last year was in 1976. That was the
last year I worked for an ad agency in the District of Columbia, and I
earned about $90k the senior account executive. Just as that year was
ending, I opened my own marketing communications company with the help of
business commitments from prospective clients, and completed the following
year, 1977, earning more personally than you claimed you earned last year.

That was what, 28 years ago?

Your claimed earnings of $115,000? Nice, but no big deal in the DC metro
area. There are thousands of GS-15 government employees who earn that
here.

Ok, so what did you earn last year?
