And very quotable quotes, like your reply to the columnist's final question about how one recognizes shady-operation footnotes. (No, I'm not going to tell everyone what it was. They're going to have to read about you in the WSJ.) I hadn't known you'd been clipped in the Quest Communications free fall. In retrospect, that was one small loss for you--but a giant gain for the rest of us. See, I can bend a quotation for my purposes too.

So if a CEO and spouse go on a trip and they are the only two on the 14 seat plane, half of the cost is disallowable on the company tax return.
