I'm not back to that level yet, but the way things are going, "One never knows, do one?" |

I'm not back to that level yet, but the way things are going, "One never knows, do one?" I'm not worried. I've made my millions and have invested wisely - as in offshore numbered accounts paying a guaranteed reasonable interest. The other day Donald Trump's attorney approached me for a loan.
