Editor's Notes
“What am I ever going to do with Calculus?”
A place where dead actors are buried?
Someone who expects you to be dead on time.
Someone who didn’t have enough personality to become an accountant.
Someone who is always right -at least on average.
There are actually three kinds… Those that can count. And those that can’t.
