Authorâs note: Iâm taking a couple of days of vacation and figured I would rework this column from 25 years ago. Itâs been lightly edited to get rid of some terribly dated references, but itâs about like it was when it first appeared back in the day. Iâll probably come back from this vacation with another story to tell, so stay tuned.
I wouldn t make a good rich guy because Iâm not comfortable staying at hotels with valet parking.
Unless my computer at work explodes and I win a huge insurance settlement from the newspaper to compensate for the loss of my fingers, there is little chance I will ever be rich because my particular talents, which include sarcasm and the ability to recall every plot line from Gilligan s Island, aren t valued that much in our society.
