Maybe you were not cut out for the big time CFO lifestyle. I don't
worry that they make more than me but when they make ridulously high
salerys and use the money to stack the deck against the people who
made them so stinking rich I have a problem with that. And btw I am
a CEO myself and I know about the pressures of business.
