    All the world’s a stage, but obviously the play is unrehearsed and everybody is ad-libbing his lines. Maybe that’s why it’s hard to tell if we’re living in a tragedy or a farce.

    Probably not much, as they are always asking for a raise.

    Of course they are. Do you have any idea what it costs to have those shoes shined?
