"What can I say? I'm 74 years old. and I collect money from people who owe it. I had a successful career as a contractor. My wife was thirteen years older than me, but she developed Alzheimer's and diabetes, so I put her in Pine Run. You know what Pine Run is? It's a retirement home for millionaires. They took me on after my wife died. When my wife died I was making two hundred bucks an hour. Those were good times. I'm happy now--I'm a recovering alcoholic. I could tell you some stories… You know, I lived for awhile in New York City across from CBGB's. I saw Blondie standing there drinking a beer. I got started drinking Bushmill's Irish Whiskey. It's smooth. You could drink this much and it goes down no problem. I had a career as a counselor, and I was a pretty good counselor. Only thing was, I'd counsel people and then go get drunk. The first time I knew I had a problem, I walked away from a half a bottle of Bushmill's. I had a half a bottle left and walked away. My wife was brought to me by God and she slowed me down. Now I'm 41 years sober and I collect money. They know if I go to collect the money, they're gonna get the money."
