  You could be a CEO and strip-mine companies.  They steal TONS of
money, don't have to lift a finger to get it, and never seem to be
held accountable.  Oh WAIT, you're an honorable person.  I suppose
that's out, then.

  WorldCom owes my mom's company many thousands of dollars.  She'll be
in deep [bankruptcy] shit if they don't pay up.  I really don't like
it when people fuck with my mom.
