just wanted to give a shout-out to the late, great rodney dangerfield.

back to school & easy money were some of our favorites when we were kids.

"i met the surgeon general- he offered me a cigarette"

"i tell you, with my doctor, i don't get no respect.

he told me to have a few drinks and get some rest"

"my wife and i were happy for 20 years. then we met"
